+The DST module takes a couple of useful parameters.
-dst_type takes values 0 (satellite), 1 (terrestial TV), 2 (cable).
+verbose takes values 0 to 5. These values control the verbosity level.
-dst_type_flags takes bit combined values:
-1 = new tuner type packets. You can use this if your card is detected
- and you have debug and you continually see the tuner packets not
- working (make sure not a basic problem like dish alignment etc.)
+debug takes values 0 and 1. You can either disable or enable debugging.
-2 = TS 204. If your card tunes OK, but the picture is terrible, seemingly
- breaking up in one half continually, and crc fails a lot, then
- this is worth a try (or trying to turn off)
+dst_addons takes values 0 and 0x20. A value of 0 means it is a FTA card.
+0x20 means it has a Conditional Access slot.
-4 = has symdiv. Some cards, mostly without new tuner packets, require
- a symbol division algorithm. Doesn't apply to terrestial TV.
