Replying to myself...
It's the bit-error rate not the signal strength, but it is related.
On most channels I get 0 but on 3 & 4 I get between 250 & 3000!
The higher the BE the worse the problem. You can see the BE next to the signal 
strength on the OSD when you first change to the channel.

Hope this helps Douglas.
