- Hi,
- this are some trivial zapping applications explaining how to use the frontend
- and demux API. They are also pretty useful to test your hardware.
- For DVB-S, Astra Channel config file:
- $ ./szap -c channels-conf/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E n24
- will tune to N24. For DVB-C, Berlin Cable channel config:
- $ ./czap -c channels-conf/dvb-c/de-Berlin Arte
- For DVB-T, Berlin Config:
- $ ./tzap -c channels-conf/dvb-t/de-Berlin phoenix
- For ATSC, Raleigh Durham Config:
- $ ./azap -c channels-conf/atsc/us-Raleigh-Durham WRAL
- will tune to WRAL's Digital Channel 5-1.
- By default the MPEG stream is routed to a hardware decoder. If you want to
- record the stream to disk you will route it to the DVR device by using the
- '-r' option:
- $ ./tzap -c channels-conf/dvb-t/de-Berlin phoenix -r
- [keep it running in one console]
- $ cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > /tmp/recording.ts
- [in a second console, will dump the MPEG transport stream to /tmp/recording.ts]
- The status messages have the following meaning:
- status 0x1f --- The demodulator status bits.
- 0x1f means all bits set, everything ok.
- signal [0x0000...0xffff] --- Signal Strength. Values above 0x8000 should be ok.
- snr [0x0000...0xffff] --- Signal/Noise Ratio. Values above 0x8000 are ok.
- ber [0...0xffffffff] --- Bit Error Rate. The less the better.
- unc [0...0xffffffff] --- Number of Uncorrectable Blocks.
- Small numbers are Preferable.
- If everything is alright and all frontend circuits are working stable
- (are locked) you should see a FE_HAS_LOCK in the rightmost line.
- Good luck,
- Holger
