Documentation is wrong. The returned values are unsigned. Would you mind send us a patch fixing it? Btw, the better is to use the new statistics API, when it is available: http://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/FE_GET_SET_PROPERTY.html#frontend-stat-properties As it properly specifies the scale of each value. If you're working in userspace, the libdvbv5 has functions that use the new API automatically when the DVBv5 statistics are available on a DVB driver, via dvb_fe_retrieve_stats(): http://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/blob/HEAD:/lib/include/dvb-fe.h -- Cheers, Mauro -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
