Another "interesting" thing with the TVE mux: I'm not sure I'm correctly
managing the performance counters of my usb stick, but basically there
are 2 post viterbi counters: an "abort count" (i.e. uncorrectable
packets) and an "error count " (number of error bits). By touching the
screen on the coaxial cable I managed to keep both counters at 0, still
the image is full of artifacts.
I remember seeing the same on some satellite channels: no uncorrectable
errors but still there are many artifacts.
Maybe they're using some non standard mpeg encoding (that both xine and
mplayer are unable to handle)?
More on this: when I'm not able to tune "TVE 1", with femon I
can see that the only bit not active in status is the "V" (viterbi?).
I'm not sure what that means, but regarding the "non standard mpeg"
possibility, I'm afraid it is not sure: sometimes I can tune and watch
"TVE 1" without any problem (with mplayer), so... it seems that, when
"watchable", this MPEG stream is OK for mplayer.
Now (with latest drivers and the patch to improve the signal
level on Nova-t sticks) I have one channel "Barcelona tv" (I think is
in the 4700000 Hz) that shows 0 BER and 0 UNC, but the image is almost
frozen (is not the same for your "TVE 1", but is curious to see that 0
UNC, 0 BER and LOCK seems not to assure watchable channels)
Jose
