NOTE: THIS IS A TEST PAGE ONLY. / DIGITAL PLAYGROUND FOR A NON-EXISTING TOOL.


Introduction

dtvtune is small utility to tune and debug digital tv cards.

It complements the w_scan command line channel scanner and helps debugging DTV cards and tv software related problems.
dtvtune requires DVB API v5.
If just tune is wanted, this tool behaves like femon and reports signal/lock.

Purpose

  • check dtv card tuning with given set of parameters
  • do roughly estimates of real life demod bit error rates by monitoring CRC32 of SI tables received in application.
  • check tuning implementations and unknown devices/delsys for w_scan
  • tool for playing with api v5.
  • report dtv cards properties.
  • do not rely on external libs.

Documentation

dtvtune does not have a man page.

However if you run it with parameter -H, a summary of it's command options is displayed.

  usage: ./dtvtune [options...]
