As of now, the STB0899 get's the raw statistics does processing and the processed details are sent to the application. It's possible to get the same, what you mentioned, just that the mentioned ioctl needs to be in there. The relative scale would be just raw statistics (unprocessed) Regards, Manu > Igor > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Manu Abraham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: VDR Mailing List <vdr@linuxtv.org> > Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2008 22:22:58 +0400 > Subject: Re: [vdr] Multiproto updated Re: [ANNOUNCE] VDR developer > version1.5.14 > >> Morfsta wrote: >>> Manu, >>> >>> Firstly, thanks for all your work - it's appreciated. >>> >>> Is the interface working properly for reading the signal strength, BER >>> and status? >> Currently, there is a small confusion.
