"Once you understand the logging information you can easily tune your own
channels/programmes by experimenting with the --preset option directly from
a command line until you get decent results. For example;

 silence.py --chanid 1004 --starttime 20130117220000 --loglevel debug
--preset "-80,,3,,180"
"

Cheers,

Anthony
