It's a real pitty that the DVB drivers don't provide a standardized way of getting signal strength and quality. They all deliver some bogus values in various different ranges, which are pretty useless to applications.
This very subject has been discussed at least a few times on the linux-media mailing list but unfortunately nothing has even been finalized and implemented. I can't remember why now -- probably people disagreeing on what metric to use or some other stupid reason that shouldn't hold it back from getting done once and for all. I personally think it's worth bringing up again, but someone else can do it. I've already done that myself a couple times.
