Re: Help for MSG1 software configuration !!!
f5hcc <f5hcc@...>
Hello David.
I think it is a great idea ! In fact, to solve my problems, I took a blank 20 GB disk, I installed only Win XP, Technisat PCI-card driver, Tellique software and of course MSG Data Manager, and... it works fine ! I think my problems came from MacAfee software (Viruscan and firewall), because when the PC was powered-on, MSG receiving was OK as long as MacAfee softwares where not loaded and running (it tooks around 1 minute after Win XP is running and before Viruscan is loaded, and during that short time, receiving is OK). So, now, I have a disk labelled "METEOSAT" when I want to receive MSG-1 and an other one labelled "XP" for regular use of the machine (I use drawers for he disks). On a PIII-1GHz, I have Tellique software AND MSG-DM both running without problems. Cheers. Fabrice, F5HCC.

Re: Missing Segments
Peter Benney <tugboat@...>
Just to let you knwo we are thinking about you, for yesterday (NovDavid, I had missing segments yesterday between 0000 and 1200 but none missing between 1215 and Midnight. Today I have missing segments 0300, 0330, 0345 and 0700 cycles. TheTellique software showed a red icon at 0947 with bad segment loss on the 0930 cycle and 0945 cycle missing after a reboot. Present weather Wind SSE 15 kts with heavy rain (8.0 mm/hr) You might also want to checkI note a series of "Lost Mesages" and " file ended/interrupted" No changes have been made to the installation prior to the onset of the missing segments. It will be interesting to see if this afternoons reception is good. I will soon be able to use my 1m patio mounted dish now the trees had shed their leaves. The 88cm motorised dish is pole mounted just above the roof gutter and close to the attached property. About 400m west of the dish is a water tower bristling with microwave links, a GSM phone cell and PSB UHF aerials. The dish is screened from this by the roof line. Satellite TV reception using this dish is very good even channels on the Sirius Nordic beam. http://www.polarorbiter.co.uk/Graphics/Pict0019.JPG Peter

Re: Wavelet-compressed HRV data

It has certainly improved picture quality. Animating the terminator now shows a smooth transition to black with no artifacts or pixellation. The system appears to cope just as well.

I am sure that Eumetsat will contact all the trial participants well in advance about purchasing an eToken before the full access control starts. That is currently scheduled for March next year: <http://www.eumetsat.de/en/dps/dissemination/met- 8_dissemination_trial.html> Sorry for any split in the URL Cheers, David

Wavelet-compressed HRV data
I see we are still on wavelet-compressed HRV data. I wonder if this
will be a permanent change? The larger file size shows up well on the bandwidth graphs - look at the increase from last Wednesday lunchtime! I haven't seen any ill effects here such as an increase in missing segments, file sequence errors, or the PC simply failing to cope with the greater data rate. http://www.david-taylor.myby.co.uk/mrtg/hermes_dvb.html I wonder if this would have been possible with direct dissemination, rather than the greater data rates used on the DVB service? Cheers, David

If you (or anyone else) got any missing segments, then the cause is something local in the installation or path to the satellite. You might also want to check the Tellique log files around the times of the missing segments in case that shows up anything. Cheers, David

Just to say thanks David for the latest beta - the countryoutlines work fine here on the MPEF files - not tried other country outlines. memory of it was stopping just south of the UK. I hadn't spotted that, James! You are right. Better algorithms, I expect. One peculiarity is that the scaling for the CLAI and CTH images is about 1% different (I hard code this from the image segment data). I wonder why? If outlines start to become incorrect, I will have to check this again...... Glad the rest is working.... Cheers, David

Interesting to note how much further north they can do CTH now. My memory of it was stopping just south of the UK. Cheers, James -- James Brown

Re: outlines
The countries are outlined fine on HRIT images (using MSG) butonly partially on FSD and not at all on CTH. CTH and CLAI outlines will be added in the next beta. Thanks for reminding me. The GOES-E image has S America outlined and the Great lakes andeven Lake Okeechobee in Florida but the coastline of N America is missing as are state boundaries. Do I have an out of date countries.dat or is this a feature. As has been discussed before, either choose a different file than Countries.dat or do not use the Inverse setting. BTW: this would have been more appropriate for the SatSignal group. Cheers, David

If your meteorology skills were as good as your programming, then we probably wouldn't need the Met Office :-) I used to be a RIG member and I do have a RX-2 but I felt that the RIG subscription was no longer economically beneficial to me.
