[mythtv] [mythtv-commits] Ticket #1049: DVBSignalMonitor thread exits before correct transponder is locked while using a rotor

[Buechler, Mark R]

Not without DiSEqC 2.0 and cards to support it. Unfortunately, using a rotor
is sort of a guessing game.

After thinking about this, maybe the signal monitor should be kept on at all
times? Where do the individual L A M values come from which determine a full
lock? I know L is for signal lock. The others I'm not sure. 

Maybe if all those methods were combined into a single class which stays
running at all times and emits (sudo-)signals on changes to the
signal/stream to DVBRecorder then it really doesn't matter if adjacent
satellites have identical transponder frequencies/SIDs since DVBRecorder
would simply stop/start recording based on signals from the signal monitor.
When it doesn't have full lock (LAM) it could send dummy frames.

Just some thoughts..

- Mark.

Comment (by danielk):

 The signal monitor probably shouldn't be started until the rotor has
 properly aimed the antenna. Is there any way to detect that?
