1. A method of handling forward error correction (FEC) code blocks in a receiver apparatus, comprising:

  • detecting a plurality of binary code portions at predetermined positions in a number of successive signal frames containing a plurality of FEC code blocks;

    comparing the binary code portions against a plurality of distributions of known patterns, wherein each of the distributions of known patterns represents a different distribution of scrambled synchronization bytes of a transport stream; and

    generating a synchronization signal locked to a distribution of the FEC code blocks that is associated with one matched distribution of the known patterns into which most of the binary code portions map.
