Hi,

after having our discussion within last november,
i decided to bring it up again as usable hardware is nearly reaching
the market.

i read the discussions again, that we held and suggested to prepare a
patch that is having both - dvb-s2 capabilities and backwards compatibility.

I am not a signal expert, not at all, but wouldn't it be better to rename QPSK_8 to 8PSK and QPSK_B to BPSK? (and accordingly FE_CAN_..)
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8PSK)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-S2 also mentions higher PSK-modulations.

As this is a good chance we might also consider adding the additional DVB-H parameter (taking the additional TPS-values into account)?

What about the problems discussed last week about the hierarchy-parameter and the selection of LP and HP streams (+ ALPHA value) for DVB-T/H?

IIRC, during the discussion in November someone also mentioned, that DVB-S2 also support hierarchical transmissions...

best regards,
Patrick.
