Hello everyone,

For those interested in our ISDB-T transmitter project (see my previous
mail to the list below), I wanted to share the news that we (finally) got
it working with commercial TVs. So far, the transmission was correctly
displayed by SDR-based receivers, but the behavior with "off-the-shelf" TVs
was erratic (to be more blunt: it didn't work). This week we found out why
and it's now working nicely. We are still testing it, and in particular
we'll try to use it with cheap SDR transmitters (rpitx and osmo-fl2k).

As usual, it would be very interesting to receive feedback (both failures
and successes).

Hi everyone,

I'm very glad to announce that our OOT gr-isdbt now includes the
transmitter and may be considered (almost) complete. The repository is at
https://github.com/git-artes/gr-isdbt.

For those of you who did not know it, we developed gr-isdbt some years ago
now (I think 2015 was the year we considered it useful) and it was a
receiver-only for ISDB-T (the TVD standard used mostly in south america and
Japan).

To give a little bit of context, last year two students of ours (Santiago
Castro and Javier Hernández) here in the university started to work on the
implementation of the transmitter. Their work is still available at their
repo (https://github.com/jhernandezbaraibar/gr-isdbt-Tx), although it may
be considered deprecated, since over the last few months I've integrated
their work into gr-isdbt and significant changes were introduced in the
process.

For those interested in using it, please note that the transmitter is still
WIP. In particular, I have tested it somewhat thoroughly in software and I
am confident it works as it should (we have included a full transceiver
example in the corresponding directory). I am now seriously testing it in
over-the-air transmissions with not-so-satisfactory results. However, I'm
leaving for some weeks for holidays, thus the announcement.

Feedback is, as usual, more than welcome.
best
Federico
