Not sure if it's already been posted here.. but the picture really did make me sad. haha The article is located here:

How many sats/channels in DVB-S2 you can find from your location, not in Europe ?

 

[Mr Tony]

C-Band has a few channels. There is a mux that has about 20 or so DVB-S2 channels. Too bad the 6 foot dish cant lock them

Lets me rise my 3m - where is the sat ?

 

[truckracer]

Is it hard to lock s2 transponders? Is it harder than locking a dvb 7/8 fec?
I have a 10 footer that is pretty well tuned. I finally got it tuned well enough that the califorinia channel on G-15 will peg the meter. That was a kind of weak one at first.

Of course I don't have anything to receive an S-2 signal. My pansat 9200hd if Pansat makes their 8psk module appear out of thin air!

DVB-S2 and 8PSK are not the same thing

There is DVB 8PSK and there is DVB-S2 QPSK stuff out there
