(meaning you have a matrix with I and Q as rulers and if the signal is good a 8x8 dot graphic for qam64 signals and a 16*16 matrix for qam256) in qam64 the dots have much less space between the dots, and thus a phase error like from a not perfectly working amp or a tap has much greater impact (phase errors move the dots circular around the center of the diagram) on qam256 than on qam64. you can even have perfect qam64 reception and no usable sync on qam256 in that case. > any ideas how to fix it? see above. > > thanks > > marco -- regards roh _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
