Hi, I'm trying to point my antenna to get better ATSC reception with my HVR-1600. I'm using "femon" from the dvbtools package on ubuntu 10.10 without any luck.
Here's a sample of the femon output (regular format): nikosapi@mythbackend:~$ femon -c 3 FE: Samsung S5H1409 QAM/8VSB Frontend (ATSC) status SCVYL | signal 012c | snr 012c | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status SCVYL | signal 012c | snr 012c | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status SCVYL | signal 012c | snr 012c | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK And here's the human readable output: nikosapi@mythbackend:~$ femon -c 3 -H FE: Samsung S5H1409 QAM/8VSB Frontend (ATSC) status SCVYL | signal 0% | snr 0% | ber 0 | unc 0 | FE_HAS_LOCK status SCVYL | signal 0% | snr 0% | ber 0 | unc 0 | FE_HAS_LOCK status SCVYL | signal 0% | snr 0% | ber 0 | unc 0 | FE_HAS_LOCK This is on a channel that has almost perfect signal strength on my TV. I'm using "zap" to select the channel like so: nikosapi@mythbackend:~$ zap -channels channels-11-08-21.conf CKMI-HD Using frontend "Samsung S5H1409 QAM/8VSB Frontend", type ATSC Problem retrieving frontend information: Invalid argument status SCVYL | signal 012c | snr 012c | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK Any ideas?
