OK, here we go. The hotel TV was dvb-c only, so I had to do the tests back at home.
I took my perfectly working Kubuntu 14.04 64 bit VM container together with my B210, made a copy and updated this one, first I made a git pull to get latest master, built it, rebuilt gnuradio, rebuilt gr-dvbt, updated the FPGA images, and everything still was fine. The chosen dvb-t bandwidth is 8 MHz. Then I changed to 003_008_003_rc1, did the same procedure, fired up grc, and the signal was not decodable both with a dvb-t PC receiver and with an dvb-x analyzer. The analyzer saw the RF level, but no data, no constellation, nothing, it looked to him like interference. When you have a look at the two "uhd" screenshots here http://dk5ras.dyndns.org/tmp/DVB/ made with my spectrum analyzer then you will find that RC1 produces a somehow narrower signal, so it really looks something gets cut at the ends with all the filtering and DSP stuff. Adjusting the channel bandwidth in the uhd sink block from 0 to a sensible value changes nothing. Btw., the dvb-t2 package behaves identical.

Can you give some detail on what's going on, so we can try and reproduce this? Thanks, Martin On 15.04.2015 12:52, Ralph A.
