    What do you get in 4:2:2

    ADVERTS 1
    What do you get in 4:2:2? are many stations 4:2:2 or mostly feeds?
    KU and C-Band or both?

    If it is still not much I will put off getting a receiver that does this and stick with the Pansat 9200HD with card.

    I've been pondering the same thing recently too. Ice probably has a good answer for this too. If I had a choice should I go with the Quali or the Pansat 9200HD with the extra board? I'm guessing the Quali. I don't have a computer fast enough for the other way of doing this. Of course it has to be somewhat user friendly...IE the wife. Blind

    Hi Blind and the group, It might not take as much of a computer as you might think. My HTPC is only a 1.6GHz but it is a dual core and I have lots of memory - 2GB. It does 4:2:2 and even mpeg 2 HD just fine.

    I run XP Pro on it with SP3 but I did have trouble with the updates to the net 2 framework that ProgDVB requires so I rolled the net 2 back and it has worked fine since.

    Something I found interesting is I tried DvbDream and while the CPU usage was lower then with ProgDVB, the computer would have choppy video when playing fast sporting feeds. It plays the fastest sports with ProgDVB just fine with no chop at all.

    Setting up a HTPC can be a chore but after it is done they are not too hard to use. Anyhow, let me know if you need any more info on the setup.

    BTW - I'm sure you have run a blind scan with a DVB receiver set for FTA only and found new channels but when you go to view them the screen is black or maybe has lots of little color blocks and maybe audio plays for a second or stays on - thats it, chances are good you just found a 4:2:2 or mpeg 2 HD feed.

    If you find these often then it might be worthwhile to get setup for 4:2:2 and HD. If you do not scan much then maybe not worthwhile.

    PS - also check out the AZBOX I just got one and after the firmware update it is doing 4:2:2 and HD. Cold case files is coming up on G16
    Got to go watch it. Later, DC

    Hope this helps, DC

    you mean Pansat 9200HD with S-2 board ?
    when it comes to 4:2:2 it is the AZBOX or computer card.

    if you are a sports nut more feeds are going 4:2:2 .

    Quali no S-2 and more 4:2:2 feeds are S-2
    so you end up back to the AZBOX
    but the wife would find the Pansat 9200HD more like the Fortec my guess.

    good luck

    Thanks for the info by all. The Azbox is linux based correct. It's gotta be easy or the wife will scream lol. I thought the Quali did Dvb, S2, and 4:2:2. Maybe I misread it somewhere. Thanks Blind

    The Quali only does 4:2:2 and its an old receiver

    azbox does MPEG4, DVB-S2, 4:2:2 (along with 4:2:0)...the azbox isnt that hard to work with once the channels are set up
    Winegard 76cm dish, SG2100 motor, Sadoun dual KU LNB..... Directv Slimline SWM 3 LNB.... GeoSatPro 36" dish with Sadoun dual KU LNB... Coolsat 5000 on motorized.... Manhattan RS1933....Directv HR34 (yes the 5 tuner monster) GeoSatPro 200 to aim dishes.... few receivers not set up yet
