Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] DVB-S Receiver

[Ron Economos]

There are some DVB-S receivers. See:

https://github.com/EdmundTse/gr-dvb

http://www.pabr.org/radio/leandvb/leandvb.en.html

The leandvb project is current and based on gr-dvb. A good project might 
be to port leandvb back into GNU Radio.

It should be noted that GNU Radio has a high performance Viterbi decoder 
block as part of the DVB-T receiver blocks (DVB-S uses the same Viterbi 
FEC as DVB-T). A port of the leandvb Viterbi code with the high 
performance functionality from the DVB-T block added in would be 
interesting.

Other blocks like the Reed-Solomon and Deinterleaver can be reused 
without modification from the DVB-T blocks.

Note that my DVB-S transmitter repo https://github.com/drmpeg/gr-dvbs is 
no longer required. A DVB-S transmitter flow graph constructed from 
DVB-T blocks is available in GNU Radio at:

<install_dir>/share/gnuradio/examples/dtv/dvbs_tx.grc
