satellites.xml look-up guide

[thecaretaker]

Is there a website that lists e.g. what the fec_inner is so I can manually change the items in the satellites.xml file?


<transponder frequency="12422000" symbol_rate="27500000" polarization="0" fec_inner="2" system="0" modulation="1" />

One satellite has just changed one of its transponder details and I'll just like to amend it manually.

I can work out polarization e.g. 0=vertical 1 being horizontal but when it comes to FEC, it would be really handy to look up on a list without going through trial and error trying different options. Most of the others are self explanatory (I think).

Thank you. That will be really useful. I don't have to manually adjust them very often, but when I do, it's a FEC of a job trying to work them out :)

Or, if you need a complete overview on settings structure....

I know, it's in Italian (the English version has been lost) but it's easy to translate.

Some of that is wrong, e.g. like ONID being part of namespace, when in fact it can be frequency.
