📖 In-Depth Technical Sheets
Hosted & Virtual SAT>IP — Category Reference
A vendor-neutral definition of a category that never had one: what the SAT>IP protocol
is and why it is not ETSI TS 103 205, the four delivery models, shared versus private
tuners, the landscape including options SATLINE.TV does not sell, nine questions that
decide a provider choice, and when hosted reception is the wrong answer.
DVB Standards & C/N Reference
All 28 DVB-S2 and 39 DVB-S2X modes with spectral efficiency and ideal Es/N0, read
from EN 302 307-1 and -2 themselves, down to −9,9 dB for VL-SNR. Plus the three
ratios people swap by mistake, why the table figures are ideal, and what margin
a real link actually needs.
The TSDuck Cookbook
Every command executed against TSDuck 3.44-4676, every output real. Live SAT>IP
analysis over HTTP and the quoting trap that makes it fail silently on bash, the
tsp pipeline, table XML you can edit and put back, PCR verification, an empirical
proof that losing 16 packets is invisible to continuity counting, and the traps.
Conditional Access & DVB SimulCrypt
Two layers people routinely conflate: standardised scrambling and proprietary key
distribution. The scrambling-control bits, why even and odd keys exist, CSA v1–v3
and CISSA, ECM against EMM, the SimulCrypt head-end and its wire protocol from
ETSI TS 103 197, BISS and BISS-CA, and where descrambling physically happens.
PSI/SI Tables, Descriptors & Identifiers
Complete signalling reference: every table with its table_id, reserved PID, purpose
and consumer; the descriptor tag registry from EN 300 468 V1.19.1; placement rules;
and why DVB audio codecs are identified by descriptor rather than stream type.
DVB Errors & Troubleshooting
Every transport stream error worth monitoring, in the order ETSI TR 101 290 says
to care about them. All three priority levels with exact thresholds, a triage
method, and three production failures where the RF measured perfect.
MPEG Transport Stream Explained
Why "MPEG-2" names the container and not the codec, so H.264 and H.265 ride
inside it: 188-byte packets, the 4-byte header field by field, 13-bit PIDs,
PSI/SI tables and the reserved PID map, PCR timing, continuity counters,
T2-MI packet types, and raw BBFrame reconstruction.

session handling, pricing, and optimal use cases.

DVB & Transport Stream Glossary
95 terms from across the shelf, searchable as you type and filterable by area.
38 carry a "Watch out" note because the term is routinely used to mean something
it does not — container versus codec, Es/N0 versus C/N, scrambling versus
conditional access, and the continuity-counter blind spot.
TS Packet Analyzer
Paste hex from tsdump or a capture and get every transport stream header field
decoded per ISO/IEC 13818-1 — the full adaptation field, PCR from its 33-bit base
and 9-bit extension, and continuity counters tracked per PID so packet loss shows
up as it would on a real monitor.
DVB Bitrate & Link Calculator
Pick a MODCOD and symbol rate for usable bitrate, occupied bandwidth, Es/N0, Eb/N0
and a design threshold including your own margin. Reverse mode lists every mode
that fits a given bandwidth and C/N. All 75 modes are the published values from
EN 302 307-1 and -2.
