If anyone runs across any transponders with 7/8 FEC, I'd be interested in whether your Azbox will lock the transponder with multiple FEC and modes.
I ran into a DVB-S QPSK feed this morning with 7/8 FEC, and it did VERY strange things with my Azbox. I found the signal via a spectrum scan, and determined it's SR via SW method, then went to the Azbox, and tried to lock it. It turns out that the Azbox will lock it in ANY FEC value in DVB-S mode, and it will lock it in AUTO, 1/2 and 4/5 when set to either DVB-S2 QPSK or DVB-S2 8PSK mode. Not only that, it will scan in the channel in either QPSK or 8PSK, DVB-S or DVB-S2.
I find this very odd, and I'm guessing that it has something to do with the fact that the Azbox DVB-S2 tuning includes the 7/8 FEC value, which is an illegal value for DVB-S2, and that when it sees a real 7/8 FEC value, that it gets all confused.
Anyway, the signal I found was only a temporary feed, and it has since gone off line, so I'm now trying to find another signal with 7/8 FEC to try, but I'm not sure where one is. So if anyone knows of a 7/8 FEC transponder, it might be interesting.
