Now that's better a BER of 5000 is a 'OK' - 'good' signal should be under 1000.. And it seems to apply that 10060 frequency-shift on every input freq - very strange! > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/projects/DVB/apps/scan$ dvbtune -f 823567 > FE_STATUS: FE_TIMEDOUT FE_HAS_VITERBI FE_HAS_SYNC > Not able to lock to the signal on the given frequency OK fair enough - that was a long-shot :) > It seems to be back consistently now (I think it disappeared for my last > mail because I'd moved some aerial leads around; I've now removed anything > except the Nova-T card from the aerial and I'm back to where I was before > - sorry about the confusion). Because ITV pack their data much tighter (QAM64 instead of QAM16), it requires the signal strength be considerably higher, so you may simply be experiencing a poor quality signal. If nothing else, you can try looping the RF through a VCR or a Sky box, since it'll tend to boost the signal slightly - might just be enough to get you going. > So it looks likely that it's the Bit Error Rate which is causing me > problems :( - Any thoughts on why it might be so high on one frequency, > but fine on others ? See above :) If the logic is correct, then you should also be having trouble receiving the 'SDN' mux containing 'five' , QVC, and the BBC Radio 1-4 streams..
