Hi Sajjad,

no, this issue doesn't seem related to any other topic that I can
remember lately – I've seen wonder why a non-transmitting test didn't
transmit, but no reports of sudden breakdowns.

Your video is about 13 minutes longer than I'd like – can you pinpoint
at which time in that video your transmission stops?

As usual, debugging on the side of the observing party might very well
be helpful here. Figure out whether the program halts (a software
debugger, e.g. gdb, would be the appropriate tool), the USB transfers
stop (wireshark might be helpful here), or whether just something
happens inside the device while the computer and software happily
continue to work. Observing the spectrum might help. Describe whether
the signal just disappears, or changes in a manner that makes reception
of DVB-T impossible. Isolate the sources of error – start with a much
less complex signal, typically a single sine wave that you can easily
observe.

All in all, what we'd need to help you is a complete error description.

Best regards,
Marcus
