I have a good signal but the card can't deliver error free streams. Femon shows signal 0xf000-0xffff, snr 0xb0-0x110 and ber almost always 0. Some errors (transport error bit set or missing TS packet) occur in the stream about every 3 minutes on average. It's not a problem of linux driver since the same errors can be found in TS recordings taken under windows. And it is also not a problem with the signal because I get a much better result with AverTV A800 USB (error about every 4 hours) and Nova-T LSI L64781 PCI (error about every 2 hours). I assume that those problems are related to the tuner (correct me if I'm wrong). The MyGica T1680 USB stick is really bad, Nova-T PCI is quite good with good signal and AverTV A800 is the best, but it is discontinued product. I would like to build a dedicated STB with 2-3 DVB-T tuners. So my question is: Is there any well known DVB-T card (preferably USB) that has a sensitive and stable tuner that can deliver error free streams?
