Some people have the drivers for some weeks in test and no report is made.
So I assume everything is now fine
I made a little report on another thread, so I guess it should be useful to report here after a month of testing (and it was a hectic month)!
First of all the fixes were for the better. Overall the situation was improved
HOWEVER....
- SNR display increments.
The improvement is obvious, we no longer have the calculated down values and the huge increments, but now the behaviour of Silabs SNR indication is very peculiar. Instead of the default 0.25 we have smaller increments of multipliants of 0.16!
This means the signal is now counted with smaller increments, which normally would make the readings more precise, however the 0.16 span occurs very rarely. Instead we see increments of 0.32, 0.48 and more often 0.64.
I must say this is not so severe, since the signal in general is around the same values as before. The question is why since the default of Silabs demods is 0.25 by factory we see now different increments? Has the R270T tuner anything to do with that?
- The lower initial SNR has not been fixed. So when we tune to a new transponder instead of the correct signal for the first second we see a smaller signal that rises to the expected value after. This affect both Silabs and the DVB-T2 tuner, so I guess it's more of a different issue than simply the drivers. Not so severe either, we can live with this as well.
- The real time values HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. What has happened is that now the real time values duplicate and report the lamedb values. This is totally wrong. The real time values should display the correct tuned values regardless of what we input.
For instance if the correct frequency is 11823 H DVB-S2 8PSK 3/4 and we input 11823 H DVB-S2 QPSK 1/2, Silabs will also tune the frequency but the real time values should show the first correct values and not what the user or the satellite xml inputs.
I will give more examples later.
At least we don't see the 10600/9750 values anymore, but the change was cosmetic to cover up the problem and not a real solution. The DVB-T2 tuner has not been fixed either.
More issues will be reported later also!
