Enable the LNA amplifier also for DVB-T (like for DVB-T2 and DVB-C);
this greatly improves reception of weak signals without affecting the reception
of the strong ones.
Experimental data (collected with the mipsel STB) on the weakest frequencies
available in my area:
LNA OFF:
MUX level BER picture
RAI mux 4 72% 32000 corrupted
TIMB 2 75% 14 OK
TVA Vicenza 68% 32000 corrupted
RAI mux 2 78% 14 OK
LNA ON:
MUX level BER picture
RAI mux 4 73% 1500 OK
TIMB 2 76% 0 OK
TVA Vicenza 69% 0 OK
RAI mux 2 79% 0 OK
Moreover, with LNA enabled, the PCTV 290e was able to pick up 2 new frequencies
matching the integrated tuner of my Panasonic G20 TV, which is really good.
