Retrofan Posted April 13 Posted April 13 Hello, when using DVBViewer Pro and/or DVBViewer Media Server with AVM Fritz!Box 6690 Cable (and others) the signal strength isn't displayed correctly. It shows 53% for example, but actually the signal strength is around 80-90%. When using M3U files (TS stream) the signal strength is shown as 100% which is also no problem at all. Quote

The Sat>IP specifications state that the signal level should be reported by the server as a numerical value between 0 and 255. DVBViewer maps it to a 0..100% scale by dividing it by 255 and multiplying it by 100. Quote
Retrofan Posted April 13 Author Posted April 13 Okay, I see. I meant, I expected a much higher value. This is based on the diagnostic tool build inside the Fritz!Box for DVB-C signals. It ended up in a signal strength between 2 and 5 dBmV. Quote
Griga Posted April 14 Posted April 14 Sat>IP specifications: Quote Signal level: Numerical value between 0 and 255. An incoming L-band satellite signal of -25dBm corresponds to 224 -65dBm corresponds to 32 No signal corresponds to 0 That's all. No special indication for DVB-C. Quote
Retrofan Posted April 24 Author Posted April 24 Okay, I see! Maybe nice to have a setting for the user to override this in DVBViewer / DMS? I know Tvheadend has this setting and minisatip as well. Quote
Retrofan Posted April 28 Author Posted April 28 (edited) @Griga: I hope you will add this option for DVB-C in the next release as well 😉 Edited April 28 by Retrofan Quote
Retrofan Posted April 29 Author Posted April 29 (edited) I also checked the signal scale setting in Tvheadend and it also gives the same result as DVBViewer (setting 240). However, in Tvheadend this setting can be changed. I my case I correct the scale from 240 to 120. Signal scale (240 or 100) : Not all SAT>IP servers use the same signal scaling. Change this setting if the signal level displayed within Tvheadend looks too low. Edited April 29 by Retrofan Quote
Retrofan Posted June 4 Author Posted June 4 (edited) For now I'm using minisatip to fool the indicator 🙂 But it would be nice if DVBViewer also has it's own setting for doing this. Edited June 4 by Retrofan Quote
