TBS are developing card that will support 1000 - 45000 kSps for DVB-S2 (both QPSK and 8PSK), but i believe it won't be released any time soon. > RELIABLY. > TIA > Bye > Manu > -- > 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 > -- 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
