Ya...I wanna blind scan card! :heart

I'll do that. Thanks for the advice, OTA is out of the question for me out here in the boonies...I have no choice but to invest in satellite gear. I've got a Fortec Ultra that supports QPSK but receiving/demodulating and actual output to a HD TV is two different animals. I just wanna be more...

This is a Universal Linear LNBF. It might be a problem with a 22khz switch but that's about it. Should work fine with a Diseqc if you have additional orbital positions or a motor. The Noise Figure is a wee bit high but if you're in North America with a 30"~33" dish or larger you should be...

Cards don't blind scan? Bummer Qbob

Good stuff guys! Thanks sooo much. Think I'm going to invest in card. Qbob

What are you using to receive?

My understanding is that "standard DVB" is MPEG-2 with different modulation/encryption depending on service provider. I've searched for hours and cannot find a definitive answer to PBS HD broadcast format. I'm starting to think maybe it's proprietary. :confused: Qbob

Thanks for the warm welcome...nice, thank you. I really do want to head in the right direction but to do so, I need to know the modualtion scheme...QPSK, 8PSK, 40039394PSK, LOL. I want to be clear on the my requirements before I shop. Qbob

I lease my DN 811 for $5 a month with the HD Pak. I can't imagine buying a MPEG-2 811 STB for hundreds of dollars from a vendor that already has plans to phase out MPEG-2 in favor of MPEG-4 in a few years. Qbob

Hi...nice place you got here! What's the story with PBS HD? Lyngsat does not indicate a modulation scheme. I get the TP and I get digital sound for about half a second. I'm starving for HD and was hoping there's a solution to receive this broadcast....anybody beat this to death? Qbob
