[Discuss-gnuradio] ATSC blocks

2015-09-03 Thread Henry Barton
I've got more info on my problem. Some of the blocks, including ATSC Field Sync Demux, are missing. Could they have been renamed or combined into other blocks? I don't understand why blocks would be missing from the latest stable Live DVD. Any light shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

[Discuss-gnuradio] ATSC won't work with SDRPlay

2015-09-04 Thread Henry Barton
Hi all. I've been trying to get the ATSC pipeline to work with 8MHz RF spectrum recordings from the SDRPlay. When I provide a 16-bit RAW IQ recording from HDSDR, centered on the TV channel, the script runs at 100% CPU for a long time and closes but the output TS file stays at 0 bytes. Any advice

[Discuss-gnuradio] ATSC decode successful on SDRPlay RSP

2015-09-07 Thread Henry Barton
Hi everyone. With help from Ron Economos, I managed to make ATSC decoding work using the SDRPlay RSP. The big issue was that the RSP has a DC bar in the middle of the waterfall. Canceling it in the SDR program isn't enough; you have to get the latest driver and use the EXTIO options *in addition
