Hi Patrick,

I have to admit, the way the signal strength is currently calculated
is wrong and stupid.
Problem is, to have really correct RF power calculation we need more
information on the board and floating point operations in the kernel.
OTOH, I repeat myself here, I don't see the reason, why MythTV is
taking the Signal strength into account and drops a receiver from the
list, when it is zero. In DVB we have much easier values to see if the
stream is maybe garbled or not and this is the UNC and BER.
Ah... maybe that's a bad assumption on my part... I'm finding it hard to
follow the mythtv code... so maybe they aren't just relying on signal
strength...
Maybe it is worth for mythtv to add an option to disable the
consideration of signal strength and SNR when using it with DVB.
Again, maybe they are using UNC and BER... I'll have to try and
spend more time figuring out their code. It's very difficult for me
to follow I'm afraid.
Many thanks for responding, oh! and a huge thank you for all
your work on linux DVB.
Cheers,
Doug
