9 | Once :ref:`FE_SET_PROPERTY <FE_GET_PROPERTY>` is called, the | |
10 | frontend will run a kernel thread that will periodically check for the | |
11 | tuner lock status and provide statistics about the quality of the | |
12 | signal. | |
13 | ||
14 | The information about the frontend tuner locking status can be queried | |
7347081e | 15 | using :ref:`FE_READ_STATUS`. |

17 | Signal statistics are provided via | |
7347081e | 18 | :ref:`FE_GET_PROPERTY`. Please note that several |
5377d91f MH |
19 | statistics require the demodulator to be fully locked (e. g. with |
20 | FE_HAS_LOCK bit set). See | |
21 | :ref:`Frontend statistics indicators <frontend-stat-properties>` for | |
22 | more details. |
