Frequently Asked Questions
Q | How do I Get Signal Strength? |
A | GetSignalQuality() returns a value from 0-100% and is supported on our satellite products. Other tuners (ATSC, DVB-T) support GetSignalStrength(). To be generic, you should check to see which is supported via the GetTunerCapabilities() function. |
Q | (Satellite) How do I Get LNB Offset? |
A | This is not supported, but can be calculated in your own software from the tuner frequency and lnb frequency. |
Q | How do I Get Network ID? |
A | This is not supported. The SDK does not currently perform any analysis of any system tables. |
Q | How do I Get MAC Address? |
A | The SDK 1.9.0 and above has functions to get the unicast MAC address as well as multicast mac addresses that are active. A number of different MAC address handling methods are available. |
Q | How do I get: Viterbi Decoder Sync Lock, Deinterleaver/RS Decoder Sync Lock, Descrambler Sync Lock, Clock Frequency Lock or Carrier Phase Lock? |
A | These functions are currently not supported. A future version of the SDK may implement these functions; however, not all of these values are available on all tuner types. |
