Hi all, After quite a lot of eyeballing in dvb_frontend.c, Some thoughts and questions that i came up with having no answers. They are such: 1) LNB drift: http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/4e590391b11f/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c 279 /* calculate

Hi Manu, The point here is that the frontend (demodulator + tuner) doesn't know about the LNB drift. Also the most important point to be noted is that LNB drift cannot be calculated, but is measured on test criteria. I think the misunderstanding is that lnb_drift doesn't correlate to any

Hi, Ideally when zigzag is employed, in the end result the offset should be zero or neglible. In the case of the STB0899, IIRC it is rounded off. So in most cases, you don't have an offset. Satellite transponders also tend to drift. Good operators will measure the exact drift and fix their
