[linux-dvb] signal noise ratio and signal strength

2002-04-09 Thread Alessio Sangalli
Hi. I've written few weeks ago asking for an explanation of a couple of calls to the DVB API; probably everyone had to work hard (or perhaps too many chocolate eggs around) so I try to ask again: I'm using the FE_READ_SNR and FE_READ_SIGNAL_STRENGTH calls to the DVB api. I can read the values

[linux-dvb] DVB support for alevt, now using demux API

2002-04-09 Thread Thomas Sailer
The following patch adds DVB support to alevt. Compared to the previous version, it now uses the demux API exclusively, without using dvr. That means multiple alevt's decoding different teletext streams can be started concurrently. Patch: http://www.baycom.org/~tom/alevt-dvb-demux.patch Patched

[linux-dvb] 0.8.2 patched driver and card detection

2002-04-09 Thread Andrei Boros
Some cards are reported to have subdevice ID's in their EEPROM with wild values. Patched 0.8.2 drivers (level >=8) rely on the onboard EEPROM stored ID's to properly detect the card and will fail because of an unknown value. For example, my card is a SkyStar 1 and contained subdevice 0x1002 an

Hi again... First thanks for your quick answers. I have to set up a server that records one channel 24/7. A user should be able to download/record a show for example, that was running within the last 24 hours (so t-24h has to be saved to hdd), so I need 2 DVB-C Cards, one for recording permanently

I am working on an application that plays PCM audio over the DVB card. My first question is: Does the DVB card support mono playback? For Stereo I set the "channels" field of the LPCM header to "1". Trying other values here doesn't seem to set the decoder to mono. This isn't a major proble
