how do you record a full transponder dump?

I have an Enigma2 receiver, but i think that only records the specific program, not the full transponder, right

I also have an old DVBWorld PCI card, but i'm not sure if it can lock those high-bitrate transponders

(I'm asking out of curiosity as that seems interesting, I'm not offering to record that Intelsat 18 transponder as i'm on the US East Coast and it's not receivable from here. But I do receive the Intelsat 35e stuff)
 
Enigma2 receiver cannot perform fullTS, but you can try to find all active pids with dvbsnoop and use the utility to save them.

So even zipped, this 1-minute .ts file is 45 MB in size. How can I give it to you?
You can use something like wetransfer.com, or even OneDrive or Google Drive if you have one of those - you should then be able to share a link to the file from there by right clicking (if you mark the sharing options as 'public' just for that file it lets someone else download it).

The zipped recorded file is available to download for 3 days from here. I included all files produced by the recording process in the zipped file. Let me know if you have any trouble downloading.
Since you only selected a regular RECORD, only the PIDs defined in the PMT were saved to the TS file.

Neat YouTube video story on using SDR on a Ku band dish!
