The Si2169 responds sensibly to the "signalQuality = self.frontend.readFrontendData(iFrontendInformatio n.snrValue)", but the Si2168 does not and so the "signalQuality = self.frontend.readFrontendData(iFrontendInformatio n.signalQualitydB) is invoked and gives values that appear to be in milliBels - i.e. 30 dB is reported as 3000.


    The following SNRdB results from the webif "web/signal?AGC=" command may be of interest (the main figures are averages across 20 samples, and those in brackets are the lowest figures in those samples) :
    Code:
       	      	               <----------------- Signal SNR -----------------> 
    	Name	Status	Tuner A	        Tuner B	     Tuner C	     Tuner D
    	    	       Si2169 	  Si2169 	 Si2169 	      Si2168 
    
    1	PSB1	In Use	340 (334)	301 (301)	340 (340)	31 (31)	
    
    2	PSB2	In Use	348 (347)	341 (340)	340 (334)	32 (31)	
    
    3	PSB3	In Use	354 (353)	348 (347)	347 (308)	31 (31)	
    
    4	COM4	In Use	360 (353)	358 (353)	360 (360)	33 (32)	
    
    5	COM5	In Use	360 (360)	343 (340)	341 (340)	33 (33)	
    
    6	COM6	In Use	355 (353)	284 (275)	301 (301)	28 (27)
    Note that the "HD" mux is being shown apparently correctly, unlike Signal finder where I have seen the same problem as reported by ccs.

    It would also appear that the Si2169 reports are in centiBels, as they seem to be a factor of 10 larger than for the Si2168. However as DVB-T frequency finder is only interested in relative levels, that would not affect the results.

    So we need to look at why Signal finder and OWI produce different outputs for AGC.

    For me the values correspond 100%.

    How are you testing this?
