ADVERTS 1
I thought DSS was owned by Hubbard Communication. Wasn't that the premium channel pkg?
I prefer sat locations vs. spacecraft names

Well, that would be interesting to classify the 4DTV method of transmitting digital sat signal:
Standard Encryption Modulation
-------- ---------- --------------
DVB-S, FTA/Iredeto/Nagravision/Conax/etc, QPSK/8PSK
DVB-S2, <same>, QPSK/8PSK/16APSK/32APSK
DSS, FTA/Videoguard, QPSK
DSS-3, Videoguard, 8PSK [Ka]
4DTV(?), Digicipher II, OOPSK, I-PSK/Q-PSK,
If I missed some,please add to that.

I think I saw a bit more than a dozen channels on Nimiq-4, and I remember seeing a few on the other Nimiq last time I went there.

Proud Staff MemberHubbard owned USSB which had all the premium channels and the Viacom channels (MTV, Nick, etc). So when you had DIrecTV you could have both USSB & Directv Originally Posted by freezy Winegard 76cm dish, SG2100 motor, Sadoun dual KU LNB..... Directv Slimline SWM 3 LNB....

Somebody on the web mentioned the latest clear channel DSS Content Reader
DSSCR 1.0.6b
. DSS-to-DVB 0.3.0 plugin of the same author was mentioned early in this thread to allow watching clear DSS channels with TSReader.

Answering what devices support tuning clear DSS signals,
TSReader Hardware Support
page lists some of these, including device pics.

Note that the last update to this site is 1.5 years old, so may not include newer hardware. Originally Posted by zamar23

It might be because newer hardware developers offer only BDA drivers, or DSS signal tuning capability in some newer chipsets is turned Off on purpose in their device drivers. But the list of supporting devices above may be incomplete for sure.
