The vendor itself had talked about more updates on the STB0899
specifications. It's a new delivery system and a new demodulator and a
new driver.

I will keep you all updated.

Currently i am using a KNC1 DVB-S2 card, will be moving to a VP-1040
DVB-S2 soon enough. Don't let what i am working on, decide your choice
at this point of stage, as i am not very sure about any positive
recommendations, unless i am seeing some really good results.

Most of the DVB-S2 cards are in low volume or sample level distribution,
these days. it has not reached a commercial state yet. But things will
change soon though.


Regards,
Manu
