Although the tuner reports a perfect signal, continuity count errors occur on the filtered pids. I doubt that the transmitter is actually dropping packets. The only other explanations seem to be either erroneous reporting from the tuner or the dvr read code dropping packets.
I'm pretty sure that the tuner is correctly reporting. I experimented by misaligning the antenna and noticing that the BER goes up first and the uncorr block count later. When the antenna is repositioned, both values go back to zero. The problem is also intermittent. Sometimes there are no cc errors and sometimes they return. In both cases, the tuner reports a perfect signal. Also, they are "real errors" as I can see pixelation in the decoded output when there are cc errors and none when the cc errors go away. The cvs and 0.9.4 drivers behave the same. Finally, it seems independent of transponder. I distilled this down to a 12 line loop in a test program that audits the continuity count of selected pids. No errors are reported from the dvr read. Has anybody seen this? Thanks, Steve -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
