Hi!

...

femon-plugin shows this values: STR: 67% SNR: 88% BER: 0 UNC: 0 Are this bad values? (I don't think so.)

i have 68% and 75% on ARD. 70/70 on ZDF 67/82 on 1+ 66/83 on Kabel1 BER= 0 means that the signal is sufficient. I do not realise UPT errors...

So my UPT errors are probably not caused by the singal?

The levels are not realy good (i'm sitting at teh end of a much too long wire and need an inline amplfier.)

Do you think that 88% are not good, too? What values are good?

(I thought my installation was "perfect": quad-LNB with an 8-fold-multiswitch and the cables to the vdr-box are about 6 meters long.)

...

What is the reason for the "unknown picture type"?

VDR is "out of sync" when trying to interpret the data AFAIK.

What causes the "out of sync" condition?
