[Discuss-gnuradio] atsc receiver error rate: 5.19e-05

[Charles Swiger]

I thought this was pretty good for last night's recording of
"Boston Legal":
        
end of file, exiting
661 errors out of 12727848 mpeg packets.  12727187 good packets.  Error
rate = 5.19e-05
        
        
That's for a 450Kw xmtr 10 miles away receiving with a scanner antenna.
        
What works so far is: recording an hour long program in 3 20-minute
segments, making about 80Gb per segment. Then running gnuradio-0.9
on 3 cpu's (with fake mc4020's on another 3 cpu's) and by about
10AM the next day they're done.  Then concatenate the 3 transport
streams into 1 8Gb file, and running hdtv2dvd on it for 2 hours, 
and out pops one hour long 720x480 ntsc high quality dvd, all from
thin air.
        
Tonight's target video: Bones.
