Saorview Technical Settings

Johnboy1951

I had some oddities with reception recently - intermittent stutters.

So I wanted to check the reception settings of the tuners and this is what I came across

Bandwidth:                8Mhz
Modulation:               QAM/64
Transmission Mode:        8k
Guard Interval:           1/32
FEC:                      2/3

I just want to check if anything has changed from the above.

Thank you.

High pressure related possibly, noticed similar here in recent times.

Thank you.
Interesting that you also met something similar.

I use a HDHomerun DVB-T device in Sat>IP mode with Tvheadend.
The Homerun device got a firmware update recently which effectively left me without Saorview.
The solution was to change the Tvheadend setting from QAM/64 to QAM/Auto.
That got the Saorview channels working again, but appeared to leave me with intermittent breakup of the Saorview signal.

So my attention was firmly fixed on the firmware update as the sole cause, as the glitching was not apparent prior to the update.

I have now set it as

Bandwidth:                8Mhz
Modulation:               QAM/Auto
Transmission Mode:        8k
Guard Interval:           1/32
FEC:                      2/3

and will leave things like this for a while to see if I get any further complaints from the household.

Thanks again for the link and the mention you have seen something similar.
