Integrate stats available via dvbv5

[jaredmauch]

There are additional statistics which may be better available to diagnose signal strength related issues.

dvb-fe-tool -v -m

can report suitable statistics including the Signal:Noise or Carrier:Noise ratio in dBm

print_frontend_stats provides examples

I intend to submit a pull request that would cause the printing of statistics such as
Info: DVB: Bit error rate: -1 Signal strength: 64224 SNR: 260 Uncorrected blocks: 0

to be replaced with appropriate stats such as:

Lock (0x1f) Signal= -66.00dBm C/N= 26.01dB

for places that currently display statistics like:

Info:  Tune:  Strength:      63568
Info:  Tune:  SNR:        258
Info:  Tune:  Event:  Frequency: 581000000
Info:  Tune:  Bit error rate: -1
Info:  Tune:  Signal strength: 63568
Info:  Tune:  SNR: 260
Info:  Main:  Card 1, tuner 0 tuned

Ideally this would also be passed through to the other data locations that would flow through to the json and other outputs.

I think it is a good idea. As far as I remember some cards do not report dBm so it might be interesting to keep the arb units values too just in case Brice

Yes please!
Include a signal lock Boolean to allow for quick validation of signal.

Is there a way to convert the values to
0-100 for bar graph (calculations to give db etc)?

Hello I would be happy to review your pull request on that ! On the 0-100 question, that depends on the typical expected values, and I am not sure what limits would be relevant. Brice
