I'm not 100% sure the dvb drivers for my two cards report the signal correctly anyway. I get a BER of 0 and 0100 UNC constantly despite it working properly. Signal strength goes from FFFF when the antenna is unplugged to 0032 with the antenna plugged in (go figure). My cards are those cheap LR6650 things based on the Conexant cx23880.Well the DVB signal recording doesn't work - it's disabled in the code due to threading issues I believe.
As to debugging your signal strength, you need to use tzap for that. You should have a fairly low BER and preferably 0 UNC.
Cheers,

For the recordings which have been corrupted I've looked in all my logs to see if I could find anything pertinent (CPU usage, running out of PCI bandwidth or whatever) - nothing has shown up. I'm hoping it was a signal strength issue rather than system related - it's easier for me to fix an aerial than track down a weird bus or driver problem.
I might be worrying uneccesarily because it's just two recordings which are messed up. I'd been using it since October without so much as a glitch on any recordings until then. Nothing has changed (apart from upgrading to 0.17) as far as I know, so maybe it was just 'one of those things'. BTW I've made plenty of perfect recordings since upgrading.
Thanks, Justin. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
