That's right,
A few days ago I also checked that with Antti. I've also had made some
debugging and DVB core is in fact passing the correct bandwidth to the
driver.
But the true is that it doesn't work...
The sample I have is a dvb-c mux using QAM128 @ 6 Mbaud (which results
in 7MHz bw) using 7MHz filter value will make the TS stream
unwatchable (lots of continuity errors).
Can this be a hardware fault?
All closed source drivers I've seen are hardcoding this value to 8MHz
when working in dvb-c (easily seen on i2c sniffs).
Could be. Well, here, the DVB-C channel operators use 6MHz-spaced channels,
with symbol rate equal to 5,217 Kbaud. I'll see if I can test it latter
this week with a PCTV 292e.
I could also test it against modulator. However, that patch seems to be
wrong for my eyes too. Generally speaking RF tuner needs to know
bandwidth to adjust filters on signal path. For narrow suitable is
filter, the better will be signal. If you have 7MHz filter then you
definitely want use it in a case your carrier fits that space. Larger
filter will work, but CNR is worse. If filter is too narrow and cuts
your carrier, you are not able to receive mux or at lest performance
drop notably.
What is you channel raster? Could you tell center frequencies of all
your DVB-C muxes? Could you test with 7MHz bw, but adjust center
frequency off from nominal ~0-500kHz to see if it helps.
