Dear list, after a lot of joy with a 'budget' nova-s, I needed to switch to a nexus for a project that needs material from to CAM-accessible TV stations. The driver works, including the conversation with CI/CAM. But I am experiencing a serious worsening in the quality of the MPEG streams I receive. While the nova showed a spotless reception for all free-to-air stations, the nexus generates a lot of artefacts in many of the station. This happens without in any way changing the dish positioning: I remove the cable from one card and plug it into the other (at the same time swapping the cards: I always work with just one card in the computer).
Some stations are error free with nexus, too. For example, Astra's frequencies 11568/v/22000 (RAI, among others) and 12344/h/27500 (BVN) have a good quality, while frequencies 11778/h/27500 (CNN) and 11954/h/27500 (Euronews) have a very poor result. This happens in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Actually, the signal has the same strength with both cards, and signal lock is stable in both cases. But the stream that is output from the nexus card is full of errors. I verify it with my self-developed software, collecting the undecoded MPEG stream, as well as by using vdr, and the internal MPEG decompressor. With the nova card, all above stations generate a spotless stream. Is this known and expected? Or is there some workaround? Some possible parameters to play with? Thanks in advance for any light that you can shed. Carlo -- * Se la Strada e la sua Virtu' non fossero state messe da parte, * K * Carlo E.
