    You can't do that with any DVB card currently on the market.

    Ya I seem to recall that the cheapest 8sp decoder was around 2000 clams. Not really worth it. The only fta I can think of off hand are the 8spk CBC off of anik and the few off of either amc 1 or 4, can't remember which (both nbc). anyways, sorry.

    I am unfamilear with the term, but it sounds like high-bitrate QPSK signals, like 35+ Msps.. the decoders in most DVB cards now a days can handle up to 45Msps QPSK carriers

    EDIT: nevermind, it looks to be a type of FEC.. I would have to say that it is not supported by any current commercial device

    It is a type of Video compression and encoding based on MPEG2, there are four flavors of DVB, they are DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T, and DVB-ASI. they are DVB-Satellite, DVB-Cable, DVB-Terrestral (Over the air), and DVB-Asynchronus Serial Interface (used as backend transport for Digital video in professional equipment), respectively.
