Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Re: ATSC decoding - Now Working!

[Bryce Kahle]

So after several sessions of comparing new code to old code, I found the problem. The root raised cosine filter was not being inserted into the graph before the fpll. The patch is pasted below. I successfully watched some video received from a local station (KFXL). I didn't get any audio, but I only captured for a couple seconds so I'm not sure if that is related or not.

Now that decoding is working again, I would like to work on improving/optimizing it where I can. Anyone have any pointers for places they know are current bottlenecks?

I've recently gotten about as far as you in working with it. I get the
field syncs fine, but the following decoding hasn't worked for me for
a long time. I have an interest in getting it back up and running
again, so please pass on anything more you can find out about it.
