There is definitely a problem with signal quality. I think it is maybe even not the most pronounced in cable or terrestrial but in satellite because bitrates can be much lower.
On low bit rate transponders with Windows software budget cards work absolutely perfectly. With linux software there is plenty of packet loss. It is very easy to see this e.g. on HotBird 11060V, SR 6510 FEC 5/6 or 11413H SR 6200 FEC 7/8. On high bitrate transponders linux is prefect. I tried to check if this tuning problem and changed frequency in small steps. That did not help much. So there is some problem somewhere... hopefully it can be solved. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Schlabbach Sent: 11. helmikuuta 2004 2:47 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [linux-dvb] Re: Tuning problems From: "Torbj�rn Jansson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I have been trying to figure out why the windows software gets > better signal quality than the linux drivers on some channels. FWIW, I compared the tuner control code of the TT driver (2.16a) against the Linux sources and they appear to work exactly the same. So the difference is probably _not_ found in the tuner control. Instead, take a look at the VES1820 control code for QAM and symbol rate. What QAM and symbol rate are the channels you are having problems with? Here in Germany, I only have 64-QAM and 6900 kbaud channels, and those work flawlessly.
