[linux-dvb] How to gather "Signal Quality" information from DVB drivers
Hi all, I wonder how I can gather the DVB-T signal quality information from the status value reported by driver (such as BER, Signal strength, S/N, UNC, etc). As I know I cannot simply use S/N as "signal quality" as it is only a ratio. But how to define "signal quality" of the DVB-T signal ? High signal strength ? Low BER? Low UNC? Or something else ? As I need to develop a simple callback to let GUI/application to get a value of signal quality in percentage. All I know is I have some driver status reading, but I do not know how to construct a percentage based DVB-T signal quality. (My hardware is TD1316 + TDA10046 + SAA7134) Please help.

[linux-dvb] DVB-T USB card with bulk mode and usb1.1
hi all, I've got a question about the DVB-T USB Linux drivers. I work on an embedded device and I would like to integrate a DVD-T TNT USB card on my device. The problem is that the USB driver on my device neither supports USB2.0 and Isochronous transfers. I'm looking for a USB DVB-T card that works in USB1.1 and with a driver that fully works with bulk mode. I also would like that the USB DVB-T card works with VLC. thanks in advance for your answers.

Re: [linux-dvb] How to gather "Signal Quality" information from DVB drivers
Hi. Tecnically signal quality should be possible to get from eighter ber, unc or snr. Signal level is not really important, because a low noise floor with a weak signal could give you just as good a reception as a strong signal with a strong noise floor. What you as an end user wants is a bit-error free signal to your decoder. What the signal level is like is not interesting. In theory, snr, ber and unc are directly linked. You can use a formula to calculate ber and unc from snr or any other way (ber->snr, unc->snr, unc->ber and so on) if you have the modulation type, symbol rate and other information. Since ber and unc can be zero (unc when reception is ok, ber will be zero if the reception is perfect ie. no need for fec or reed-solomon), the ber could be a good indicator. ber=0 (in a given timeframe, say 10sec), should be an indicator that the signal is very good. You will need to use snr to be able to give a correct result for very good signal levels (better signal quality than what is needed to receive the stream perfectly) your real problem is not the quality part of this equation really. It is the fact that all drivers implement this differently. A level of 0x2a35 on snr could mean perfect signal on one driver, and no reception at all on a second driver. Some cards dont even give you snr, maybe even a hardware constraint. Actually this will be different from card to card as well (with the same frontend), given that there is a different sensitivity on the tuner. Getting this right is really a very difficult task right now, unless I am totally off here. -Morgan- On 30/07/07, Chun Chung LO <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I wonder how I can gather the DVB-T signal quality information from the > status value reported by driver (such as BER, Signal strength, S/N, UNC, > etc). > > As I know I cannot simply use S/N as "signal quality" as it is only a > ratio.

However, I have one thing: the SNR value is only dependent on the demodulator you use, so even with a different frontend, the values can be directly compared as long as you use the same demodulator IC (and firmware, maybe...). For most demodulators, you can give a (more or less) simple equation to calculate the S/N (or C/N, whatever you want to call it) from the register values, but unfortunately there are some exceptions: STV0297 DVB-C for example. The signal strength, in turn, is most often not even useful when comparing devices of the same type - the tolerances are too big, you can only get a rough idea of "any signal present" or "no signal present". (Which is, BTW, sometimes very nice too have, too.) > -Morgan- Regards, Wolfgang ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

I did think correctly though, I was just thinking without writing it down =) What I meant to say was, that even with the same frontend, two cards synced on the same signal from the same antenna could have different snr as a result of the sensitivity of the tuner and possibly also the shielding and the noise coming from the tuner and the signal amplifier itself. That said, the snr is probably the best data you have on the quality. Unfortunately devices like avemerdia volar A808 (I have one of those) does not give you snr at all. That is very unfortunate. In such a case the best thing for the driver to do is to calculate the snr from the ber. It will not be accurate though. >From a professional point of view, the actual BER could be the most important one, but also that is implemented differently, probably in hardware as well as in the drivers. > The signal strength, in turn, is most often not even useful when comparing > devices of the same type - the tolerances are too big, you can only get > a rough idea of "any signal present" or "no signal present".

I guess the problem is that it is not clear how one could implement such a thing. Even with properly defined return values, you do not know if they can always be interpreted by the application (or the user) in the same way. Example: C/N values have completely different ranges for DVB-C, DVB-S and DVB-T. In a commercial product, we helped ourselves like this for C/N: The frontend drivers return the C/N value in tenth of dB (i.e. 56 meaning 5.6 dB), a minimum value and a maximum value. Like this, the C/N can be displayed as a number, and a bar graph can be displayed giving a correct scale between minimum and maximum for the frontend currently used. A similar approach can be used for the signal strength, but here the numeral value is not useful for display due to the tolerance and different characteristic of different frontends. As stated, you can at least see if there is a signal present or none at all. Like this, we have the same API and GUI for DVB-S, DVB-T and DVB-C. However, I know there are still frontends/demodulators that can not be handled like this. The STV0297's register values can only be converted to a C/N value by a lookup table, and the values are very unstable, so you definitely have to apply strong filtering before using the values. This is not so bad with the TDA10021/TDA10023 (DVB-C), TDA10046 (DVB-T) and STV0299/STV0288 I am a bit familiar with. I do not know about other demodulators yet. I would really love to see a more sophisticated approach in a future API version (maybe similar to the one I outlined above or better), but I fear it might be a problem due to these "non-compliant" demodulators. > Bye > -- > Luca Regards, Wolfgang ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

If you had a problem with the current software, try if they are still there. If you had no problem, try if everything is still working. Mainly I would like to see the scanning problems to be gone and the disconnects of the Nova-T 500. We found something wrong in the old firmware and I think it was that which was causing sometimes i2c-errors on the STK7700P and maybe even the disconnects of the Nova-T 500.

Re: [linux-dvb] [PATCH] Assistance writing patch for Nova-T 500 stuttering problems
Hi Matt, Based on your Idea I just committed something which will fix your problems using a module parameter. I don't know why Hauppauge has splitted the fix into two, it is not useful, both register-changes are required to solve the issue. By using those settings one will decrease the mobile performance of the receiver, but for fixed-reception it is OK. Can you please try it from my hg repo: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pb/v4l-dvb/? regards, Patrick.

A. I meant hundreds of unnamed people OUTSIDE of linuxtv.org (That IS THE BIG DIFFERENCE): a.

D. I do not talk about forking but I prefer to talk about real changes, and those real changes must be personal substitutions in case of linuxtv.org.

If the old people DO stay there will be 1. absolutely no change in the end! 2. no people volunteering to do better! Keeping the old reactionary personal structure will mean NO CHANGE in the end! HEADS MUST ROLL, AND THAT'S THE REAL NECESSITY TO MAKE THINGS BETTER! I DO demand the following measurements: a. Limit the linuxtv repository to people who are REAL active in development (Reason: What you do see now is nothing but another hypocritic bad show to improve the hypocritic politician status of Mauro Carvalho Chehab - most of the people having a repository there have been highly inactive for whatever reason, for months, if not to say for years! THIS MUST CHANGE IMMEDIATELY!!) Reason: As a user you do not need any kind of an assembling of dead inactive people but you DO need transparency: You do need to have an idea of who is responsible for what, but you do not need any kind of chaos confirming to the TOYOTA principle going: Everything is possible, and nothing is impossible! In other words: You DO need and expect reliability instead of hypocrisy and bad tricks (i. e. making things look bigger than they are in this case to confirm ones own hypocrisy position!) ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cg

The firmware kills the remote handling code. Once I pressed one remote
button I get for each RC_INTERVAL either
"dib0700: Unknown remote controller key : 0 0"
or
"dib0700: Unknown remote controller key : 1 0"
alternating with every pressed button.
The same driver with dvb-usb-dib0700-01.fw firmware works as expected.
Attached is a small patch to kill the unneeded '\n' in the err() macros
in the rc_query

If we are still lucky and it follows also for the rest the TRIO PCI card, LifeView is usually famous for holding such lines, the analog radio and the other analog inputs should just work. The remote is another story. There are patches from Eddi @depieri, based on Henry Wong's and Dwaine's patches previously. Should still work, but won't go to mainline yet. There are some comments on the lists on what it hangs. Eddi also had one for Steve's HVR3000 repo with Manu's multiproto support, IIRC. There is a lot to test on this one, but if once through, we can add it to auto detection or provide a new card entry if there are differences. An additional LowNoiseAmplifier, like seen on many other cards recently could be an issue. Would cause some white flashes from time to time and noise on analog cable TV and locking problems on DVB-T with else known good signal. Not reported. So I guess this one is on the flight now too.

No still problems here... oh, did you mean "still have problems"? ;-) Hardware is a Nova-T Stick 70001. The new firmware is in /lib/firmware as both dvb-usb-dib0700-01.fw and dvb-usb-dib0700-03-pre1.fw so that I could test it without having to rebuild the stock driver. Stock 2.6.22-hrt5: works as before. No problems, or at least none that I've noticed. ~pb/v4l-dvb c58cb07fa064: FAILS. Tuning isn't working; when the status is being queried, this version reports either FE_HAS_SIGNAL or 0, though that status bit does appear to be correctly reported.

[linux-dvb] Compro DVB-T100
I have spent some time last weekend starting to get the Compro VideoMate DVB-T100 working. Similar cards from Compro, the DVB-T200, 200A and 300 are already have driver support so it seems this will not be too hard a task. I hope to have this done in the next week or two depending on my workload. I'm just wondering if anyone else is working on this card? I'd rather not replicate work already done. Also, does anyone have a any good reference sources for this range of cards? Cheers all. -- Stuart Coyle stuart dot coyle at gmail dot com ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

Just so we know what (not) to avoid: What model nos. are on the boxes for known-good Nova-T 500s? What model no. is on the box for the Nova-TD 500? You'll probably find the model number near the barcode on the box; for example, my Nova-T Stick (70001) has "WinTV-NOVA-T-Stick model 294", and I know that newer ones have a different model number. Oh, and these numbers should be added to the relevant wiki pages. -- | Darren Salt| linux or ds at | nr.

Re: [linux-dvb] [PATCH] Assistance writing patch for Nova-T 500 stuttering problems
Hi Patrick, Thanks for that Patrick. My patch fixed the problem for me and someone else I know with the same card. I'll try the fix tonight, and also will get the other guy to test it. What module parameter do I need to use? Do I also need the new firmware? I looked through your repository and couldn't see the change that fixed the problem, what was the revision? ... e.g. my patch added a module parameter to dib3000mc, but I can see a new module parameter there. Thanks, Matt Patrick Boettcher wrote: Hi Matt, Based on your Idea I just committed something which will fix your problems using a module parameter. I don't know why Hauppauge has splitted the fix into two, it is not useful, both register-changes are required to solve the issue. By using those settings one will decrease the mobile performance of the receiver, but for fixed-reception it is OK. Can you please try it from my hg repo: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pb/v4l-dvb/? regards, Patrick. On Thu, 19 Jul 2007, Matt Doran wrote: Hi Patrick, I tracked down the code that sets up the registers in dib3000mc.c. I created a patch to add a "fix_sfn" module option to the dib3000mc modele. e.g. when fix_sfn 0x01 bit is set, configure register 29 -> 0x1073 ... when fix_sfn 0x02 bit is set, configure register 108 -> 0x4000. I've tested this with "fix_sfn" set to 3 to enable both fixes, and it doesn't cause any regressions. Tonight I have not had any reception/stuttering problems (it doesn't happen all the time), so I'm not sure if it fixes the problem. but I'll continue to use this to see if it successfully resolves my issues. I'll also ask others I know who see this problem to test this fix. Can you review this patch? Does it look right? I wasn't sure what to call the module option, or how to describe the options ... if you have any suggestions I'd be happy to adjust the patch.

These channels show serious video break-up/stuttering like there is poor reception, however this is not the case. Using other tuners (e.g. other cards, or tuners in TVs), or using the Nova-T 500 on Windows doesn't exhibit these problems. I raised this issue 3 or four months ago (http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-April/017065.html). Patrick Boettcher indicated that it relates to some peculiarities with the DVB broadcast (http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-April/017102.html). The Hauppauge windows drivers now have a registry key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HCW99BDA\Parameters\FixSFN) that can be used to modify the tuner's behaviour to fix this problem. I'd like to work on a patch for the drivers to add a module option "fix_sfn", that does the same as the windows drivers. But need to know what registry settings need to be changed. If Patrick or someone from Hauupauge or Dibcom could give me this information, I'd like to develop the initial patch.
