Forward error correction (FEC) is a method of obtaining error control in data transmission in which the source (transmitter) sends redundant data and the destination (receiver) recognizes only the portion of the data that contains no apparent errors.
Please remember that this along with things like C/N ratio, BER and a lot more things like rain outage, atmospheric conditions, etc.... etc... are all contributing to your PQ and AQ
Dont really think so, We had an old lcd tv a few years back, with a high response time, So if Schumacher turns a bend in Monaco, the car looked like a snake curling around, That is a slow grey to grey of TV, Well if the STB is a little on the slow processing side or is overheating these artifacts start appearing too, Like the video section memory is slower and lot of data is input to it, the output can give strange results, Like squares and flower pots
