Hullo, I've just given the new 1.0.1 driver a go with my NOVA-T, but I'm still having problems with it. I get a lot more digital breakup/glitches, etc. than I did with the driver I was previously using, 1.0.0-pre2.
Just to give you some numbers, when looking at the same mux (BBC Mux 1)from Crystal Palace, with pre2 I get typical readings of: snr e6e6 | ber 000000ea | unc 00000000 snr e5e5 | ber 000000e8 | unc 00000000 snr e5e5 | ber 000000e5 | unc 00000000 ....I do get the occasional unconcealed error, but only a couple over, say, half an hour. Using drivers 1.0.0-pre3 up to 1.0.1, I get typical readings of: snr e5e5 | ber 00000158 | unc 0000000f snr e5e5 | ber 00000149 | unc 0000000d snr e5e5 | ber 00000139 | unc 0000000d snr e3e3 | ber 00000166 | unc 00000020 snr d5d5 | ber 000000e8 | unc 0000000a i.e the SNR fluctuates more, the BER is generally higher, and I get a large number of unconcealed errors. The above readings were taken within 10 minutes of each other, with the only change being the driver version loaded. I'm using a NOVA-T card (grundig_29504-401 front end), and a 2.4.20 kernel. I think I saw a string of posts about similar problems recently, but they appear to have dried up recently. The last time I posted about this, someone suggested that I go through the CVS between pre2 and pre3 and find out what date the error appears. I haven't done this, mainly because I'm not adept enough at using CVS (my "coding" skills don't go much beyond scripts), but if someone thinks this is a good approach, and want's to post some breif instructions on how I pull specific dates from the cvs, then I'll give that a go.
