I never paid attention to this before, but I suddenly noticed it and now I have some questions. The GT Media Finder V8 Pro2 always shows a signal quality of "97". Or "0". Depending on the situation. According to video reviews, on other GT Media devices (and on devices from other manufacturers), this value constantly changes. And that seems more correct to me! And I think I read somewhere that on earlier firmware versions of the GT Media Finder V8 Pro2, everything was also fine – the value constantly changed. That's why I have these questions:
1. Does everyone have a signal quality of "97" that doesn't change?
2. Was it different on earlier firmware versions?
3. How can this be fixed now?
4. Is it possible to downgrade the firmware without problems?
Thank you.

I don't understand, does everyone else's signal quality show the same as mine? Or has this issue been discussed somewhere before? In that case, please provide a link. Or, if anyone knows what the problem is, please answer!

I do not have that model.

The other models I do have do not do this.
I may be that your dish has very good reception on all channels and the quality is that level.

you can change down software versions using the forced recovery method.

Is this the only way to downgrade firmware? Or is it possible to downgrade it using the standard firmware method?

From the menus it will not allow down grading.

I'd only consider downgrading my device's firmware in one case: if the signal quality display is more accurate on an earlier firmware version. That is, the signal quality display will dynamically change depending on the signal, and not just show two values—0 or 97!

Quality is determined by the MER, power by the PWR, and the S/Q percentage is only a relative value.
