It seemed clear to me with version 3, but now I'm at a loss. Can you please answer these couple of questions? 1. DVBFE_GET_DELSYS returns: a) The CURRENT active delivery system b) A bitset of SUPPORTED delivery systems 2. DVBFE_GET_INFO, in the delivery field, returns: a) The CURRENT active delivery system b) A bitset of SUPPORTED delivery systems 3. DVBFE_GET_PARAMS returns: a) The CURRENT settings of the front-end, e.g. the modulation of the current channel tuned to, the current FEC rate, and so on. b) The SUPPORTED modulations, fec rates, and so on. 4. With this new API it is possible to: a) Query the ABILITIES of the front-end. For example, find out if the front-end supports ATSC, and if so, if it supports 256-QAM. b) Find the current settings of what the front-end is tuned to. For example, determine if the current channel is 64-QAM or 256-QAM. c) Both a and b I have made the questions multiple choice, so it will be less trouble for you to answer them. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
