DVB-S Tuning .ini questions

[RattyDAVE]

I am trying to update my transponder list and there seem to be some differences in the .ini

NPVR .ini in C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Tuning\DVB-S

Is there a definition for the NPVR format of the ini file?
Is there a converter that I could use?

Thanks in advance.

I think its pretty obvious looking at it.

x=<freq>,<polarity>,<symbol-rate>,<fec>

This has been the standard format for DVB-S ini files for lots of applications for years. Its only been recently you've seen some sources of these .ini files started to deviate from the original format to add extra fields for DVB-S2, which is what the above satellites-xml.eu sample shows.

[RattyDAVE]

Is there some documentation on this?

From yours....

1=10714,H,22000,0

compared to

1=10714,H,22000,56,DVB-S,QPSK

In you line what are the <fec> parameters?

[sub]

'0' FEC effectively means 'dont set the FEC, let the tuner work it out automatically'. You could have done '1=10714,H,22000,56' if you'd wanted to explicitly specify the FEC.
