Hello Max, sorry for the delayed answer - I'm currently busy. About your question where I have the issues: It concerns to all transponders using dvb-s or dvb-s2. Currently I have no chance for testing. Around Christmas I'll have some more time for testing. I'll check out the current drivers and play around with the firmeware versions. Hope to provide after testing more useful information.
