Also a good description.... Especially because it is short it might even be better. But there is one remark... when the tuner does not allow show SNR in dB -and/or- the code cannot recalculate it in SNR (this is also happening, long live enigma2)... then it is always anywhere in percentage. I would prefer to hide this option in those cases, but it is tuner driven and not box driven...
The only gripe I still have with it all, is that the config value has no clear and defined state, but depends on the whim of the skin designer.
As an example: if you run OpenPLi 9, with the default FullNight-HD skin, and setting to No, you will see dB's in the skin. Now you upgrade to OpenPLi 10, with DarkOS as default skin, you restore your config, and the dB's are gone, you now have SNR %.
This is going to cause a lot of forum complaints from end-users...
It would have been a lot better to simply have a config value "Show SNR as" with options "Db / % ", which makes it clear and unambiguous what the user wants to see, irrespectively of the skin.

Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.
