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...
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:

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.

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.

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?
