Sorry, Martin, I know it's confusing. I have two systems based at two different locations. The Vu+ Uno is in my flat and attached to the Penta 85cm dish which has a view of between 15W to 72E. The Uno will not give your either the SNR% or SNR dB reading UNTIL it has a lock, which is very frustrating.
The screenshot that you linked to above, is from another set up at my parents to which I connect via Vulkano (same as Slingbox). It consists of the Dr HD F15 receiver - considered to be the best receiver by many for feed hunting due to sensitive tuner and a built in spectrum analyser (though I don't get on well with the latter) and is attached to the 1.2m Fibo Gregorian dish. This will give you a dB reading no matter whether it has a lock or not. Sadly, I cannot check 46E on this set up as the eastern limit of the dish is around 42E. I can lock some transponders on 45E but due to trees, it's not watchable.
