Then it's always room for improvements such as high-end equipment all the way from Monster Cables, etc. Sorry for the referenced pages in Swedish - The amplifier is Televés 5523, http://www.kjell.com/?item=30294&path=500000,2000000,3200000 - F connectors where possible (everywhere but at the TV's and capture cards) - Splitters used is of metallic type with F connectors such as http://www.kjell.com/?item=30432&path=500000,2000000,5500000,5600000 - Most of the antenna cable is of KTV 1.0/4.8 but I have made one mistake...the cable to the basement and where the server is have KTV 0.8/3.6... Actions I have planned for: - Test the direction of antenna if there are any improvements that can be done. - Replace the antenna cable to KTV 1.0/4.8 Question: - When testing the direction of antenna, is there any good tool I can use on the Linux server with the TV-cards to find the best setting. My regular DVB-T boxes have that good signal so it's hard to use them. (on my Dreambox SNR= 99%, AGC=60%, BER=~0) - What values should a aim for... * Highest possible Signal Strength * Highest possible SNR * Lowest possible BER I executed dvbsnoop (with -s singal) during a scan and when finding channels I got: Sig: ~46000 SNR: 0 (?????) BER: 0 Can I trust the values from dvbsnoop?? Any better tool??
