    8psk

    Let's quickly review why "Rod wasnt being nice": I receive an email from goaeliebob99 saying how useful TSReader Lite is for mapping the transponder loading on Dish Network for SatelliteGuys.US and he could potentially help build 8PSK boards. My reply says thanks for the info and FYI...

    Someone please explain how Voom allocates bandwidth

    1. I built an interface that uses a USB 2.0 microcontroller and interfaces to a Dish Network 6000 8PSK module. This contains a BCM4500 demodulator which is what Voom uses for their STBs so I can lock Voom and bring the transport stream into TSReader. 2. Don't know - I'm not a subscriber...

    Someone please explain how Voom allocates bandwidth

    80 MBps is typical for an HD encoder running in VBR mode - for SD channels you'd see 15 Mbps, i.e. the max per profile. The PID rate chart is much better to see the average bitrate for the video streams. Edited to add that the rates in the PID chart are based on the PCR of a given channel (so...

    Sorry for the delay in answering this. I had a new release of TSReader to get finished first. Signal Quality and Signal Strength are not really standardized. Most likely the Signal Quality is a combination of the strength and the SNR. Signal strength is most likely related to the gain...

    Those don't help since I can't see which chips are inside the module. Someone needs to remove the cover! Rod

    I don't have a Voom receiver so I really can't say. If you open yours up and are able to look inside the 8VSB tuner module you might be able to figure out which demodulator chip is being used. Knowing which demod is being used will tell you the generation of 8VSB receiver - the third generation...

    First, let me mention MPEG-4. It is very unlikely this will ever be used for traditional "to the TV" broadcasting. It's just not bitrate efficient enough. The real candidates for the next generation DBS system are WM9 (aka VC-9) and MPEG-4.10 (aka AVC aka H.264). The Motorola broadband group...
