:) The stronger the signal (%) the better the picture quality.
Try to get a least 70% or higher.

Good luck.

Different receivers have different "standards". That is, a 75 on a Sony is not the same "75" on an RCA. My experience with RCAs is that 30 is about as low as will register on the meter. You could cinceivably have a 22 signal strength and your system will still read "0 signal, rotate 3 degrees".

I have actualy seen pictures with the strength as low as like 35 (I think if a bird flew by it would pixillate though ;) )
