Need some help - 8 foot Unimesh install

The swapped-out RX-8200 arrived today. It's playing the HEVC 4:2:2 CBS muxes on 93 and 97 just fine, but not ABC on 99. Is there something funky about ABC on 99?

You need a special Sat S2X video board to lock DVB-S2X signals. A majority of the ones on eBay that have the licenses for it have the wrong board.

Page 5 will show you how to check.

Congrats on scoring one, such a great receiver.

Well crap, we have a license but don't even have the board. Is it possible to buy the board somewhere?

Quick update on the 4:2:2 front. We acquired an Ericsson RX8200 from Ebay. It can directly display 4:2:2 on the TV using SDI output, fed into a cheap HDMI converter from Amazon.

Currently it's licensed for MPEG-2 and h.264 MPEG-4 only, but it is capable of HEVC h.265 4:2:2 decoding. It is fun to be able to display 4:2:2 "on the big screen!"

There are endless options on this receiver. Here are screenshots of the dashboard and photos of the receiver displaying the women's golf tournament from Portland. Source is two 16APSK muxes on 89 C-band.

The receiver has 4 inputs, so you can have KU and C-band side-by side.

Nice! Mind if I ask how much this baby set you back?

Not that I am aware of, I am sure MediaKind would do it but I could only imagine how much it would cost.

I would love to upgrade my board too as mine is in the same boat.

Email all the sellers of this receiver on Ebay, and ask them to check the receiver they are selling for the board. If they have a receiver with one, buy it. You can always sell your present receiver.
