DVB T2 and S2 cheap recievers

[chuckinnc]

I have seem cheap satellite receivers for less than $30 on ebay, I want to buy one and use it coupled to my 7" TV, as a portable signal meter sat/locater for use at the dish. Some of these say DVB T2 and
some say DVB S2, does anyone know the difference between the two? Has anyone used one of these cheap receivers yet?

T2 is the terrestrial broadcast standard used in non-NTSC countries.

T2 will do you know good over here for tuning a satellite.

T2 is the terrestrial broadcast standard used in non-NTSC countries.

Think that should read: "non-ATSC" which is used in N.A. Mexico & Canada. (NTSC = Analog, ATSC = Digital)

In any case you want one that does DVB-S2.

There might be DVB-S3 receivers...
Googled it. One andriod based unit comes up, DM800SE, and others too. Interesting. (could be a gimmick though can't find specs saying actual S3 and/or H265 capability for uHD)

Amiko is coming out with one too likely soon available through the local dealer (FridgeFTA)

I'm selling off a bunch of stuff - to go are a Satlink 6906 meter, Openbox S10, and a MicroHD. I'll be posting it to classifieds this weekend. S10 would be the cheapest.

Are there DVB-S3 on N.A. sats yet?
