Hi all,
I have discussed with the people involved with Hauppauge at DiBcom and
wanted to know the problem.
They explained me, that the actual problem/mistake is the broadcaster:
They are using SFNs (single-frequency network, a DVB-T mux is transmitted
by several, geographically different, transmitters) and each transmitter
has its own cell-id in the TPS. As the channels are the same, the cell-id
should be the same as well.
I have the register settings for the dib3000p and dib7000p (no rev-eng
necessary) which disable some algos to work-around that. However I would
like to make that a module-load option, because here in France and afaik
in Berlin, Germany, the SFNs are OK and disable the algos may cost other
performance problems.
I will try to prepare a patch for that as soon as I can.
Hi Patrick,
Thanks for looking into this for us. I can't say that I understand all
that, but I'm glad to see that you'll help us out with a patch. A
couple of Nova-t 500 users in Melbourne were about to give up on the card.
Any idea why this card/chip is sensitive to this broadcasting problem?
Other cards, STBs, and tuners in TVs don't have any problems with these
channels ... it's only this card.
If I knew how to describe this better, I would try to let the
broadcaster know that they can fix the problem. Did you get any
specific details that I could pass on?
Thanks again,
Matt
