Some people have been asking on those items earlier on the lists. I don't remember the exact transponders nor the sats, but you can easily find those mails on the list itself. The DVB-S2 specification is very much a big specification indeed. There aren't many demodulators that do comply. And those 2nd generation demodulators are on PCIe cards alone, rather than PCI cards. The TT S2-1600 is the only "PCI" card that i am aware of currently, which complies to all of those later additions. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
