Hello, Isn't unc fffffffe mean lots of errors? # ./szap -c ch.conf -l DBS -r "Vu" reading channels from file 'ch.conf' zapping to 6 'Vu': sat 1, frequency = 12295 MHz H, symbolrate 20000000, vpid = 0x1324, apid = 0x1325 using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' status 1f | signal 3f00 | snr 1700 | ber fffffffe | unc fffffffe | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 4000 | snr 1700 | ber fffffffe | unc fffffffe | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 3f00 | snr 1700 | ber fffffffe | unc fffffffe | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 3f00 | snr 1700 | ber fffffffe | unc fffffffe | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 4100 | snr 1700 | ber fffffffe | unc fffffffe | FE_HAS_LOCK Pansat attached to the same cable, tuned to the same channel shows ~90% signal level/quality. Not sure if that matters, dmesg: # dmesg dvb_frontend_thread: using FE_ALGO_HW dvb_frontend_thread: using FE_ALGO_HW dvb_frontend_thread: using FE_ALGO_HW dvb_frontend_thread: using FE_ALGO_HW dvb_frontend_thread: using FE_ALGO_HW dvb_frontend_thread: using FE_ALGO_HW dvb_frontend_thread: using FE_ALGO_HW BTW, captured stream plays back just fine.
