I don't believe that a digital signal strength indicator really helps
a lot when adjusting a dish. I had the best experiences with one of these
small devices that you loop into the antenna cable, and which give a beeping
sound when a satellite is found. Mine even has a meter that shows the signal
strength.

I'll add functions to the cDevice class that return information like signal
strength etc., but at the moment I'm involved with other things (input interface,
DiSEqC changes).
