Single Mux High BER DVB-T

Added by Alex Lovett almost 10 years ago

Hi all,

I currently have Tvheadend running with a RTL2832u chip on Xubuntu.
In my location (Ipswich/UK) I have 5 DVB-T Mux's (Transmitter: Sudbury):
*4 work perfectly: Signal Strength = 31% BER = 0 - I can watch all channels per mux fine.
*1 mux throws errors in tvheadend - Continuity Counter Error/Broken PES Header. Signal Strength = 28% BER=65535

I am unsure as to why this is happening, when I have my TV plugged into the same socket it reports Signal Strength = 95-100% BER = 0 for all mux's and shows no degredation for any channels.
I manually entered the mux info & checked they are the same as the TV Mux's (and the online info for my local transmitter)
Tvheadend found the services, mapped the channels & EPG just fine.

Is this a problem with my device hardware/device driver or Tvheadend?

For reference:
*Xubuntu Version: 14.04
*Kernel 3.13.0-45-generic
*DVB Tuner = Trekstor DVB-T Stick Terres 2.0
*Problematic Mux = COM6 -754MHz
