I'm a Newbie,

so maybe the answer of my question is somewhere where i didn't find it...

If you "zap" to an other channel... you see an info bar... you know what i mean!
What do the A B C D signs mean, and why are they green and sometimes orange?
And in some image's there is even more info in the bar that i can't explain!!!
is there a file somewhere i can download, with all the signs explained?

Thanks.... JP

They indicate the tuners in use... most skins use orange/yellow as tuner used... and green for the tuner where you are really whatching with...

I try to explain the infobar here.

[attachment=51136:screenshot.jpg]

when we look at the infobar:

[attachment=51137:infobar.jpg]
From top left to bottom right:
-channelname&provider , DolbyDigital , screentype , HBBtv , teletext , Highdefenition , encrypted, internet ?(not sure about that simbol), clock&date and satellite , provider and screenresolution. Blue bar is progression of program.

-picon , epg time & programname next below that , program time left below that program time next program , tuner in use and tuner overview(4 tuners) , snr(signal strength, error correction

-softcam in use , softcam info , softcam info.

Thanks!
Now i know what the info means.
Especially the ABCD, i thought it was the Diseq switch... but that didnt make sense!

As this fits the title also... ;-)

I wonder, what do the: " SVI Nd Co Cw B N " signs mean...
I think there about videocodecs? (almost sure) but eager to learn more ;-)

Thanks!!!.. Jean Pierre

Wow, to make it complete... SORRY!:
there are some more signs....

I can understand SNR: in my case it's 99%
and then there's: AGC: 43%
and BER: 0

can anyone explain these to me? i think 99% means i fixed my dish really nice and the 43% could be the length of my cables?

Would be nice to be sure :-)

JP!

[littlesat]

The 43% in fact is saying nothing objectivaly...

[jeffphil]

AGC is short for automatic gain control and in most implementations is a figure that tell in this case percentage of the available amplification to get the incoming signal for the lnb to the optimal level to be processed. However I think for e2 as little sat has implied in may not carry the correct message due to the issues with the drivers being closed source.
BER is bit error rate and as the name suggests it is the number of errors detected in the incommin data stream so 0 is ideal but a low number is also OK as it takes a few errors to be noticeable in the viewed picture.

Hope this is of some help.

[littlesat]

In fact the ber presented does not have much added value at all.... As this is most of the time zero as the correction already taken place before.... More interest point is the error rate fixed the incoming data stream that isn't available from any driver... As this is the only real indication of the quality of the signal
