From 82d00a1a2ac8b112728c98a88948456a0e308672 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2020 10:06:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] media: vidtv: add a poor guy's simulation to preBER stats A typical digital TV stream has errors that are corrected by Viterbi. While the error rate after Viterbi is usually zero, with good signals, there are some chances of getting random errors before that, which are auto-corrected by the error code algorithm. Add a poor guy's implementation that would show some noise at the pre-BER part of the demod.
