While scanning a particular Satellite I see it has transponders with
4/5 FEC and 3399 Sym/s I get that one at 55% Q.
1/2 FEC and 21000 Sym/s I get only 44%
3/4 FEC and 15000 Sym/S I get 66%

There are other things to consider like the modulation method 8PSK QPSK etc.
So it seems as the Symbol rate goes up my ability to decode goes down ALSO as the FEC goes up I have more trouble.
ALL of these things could be improved if I could aim the antenna better and get more signal.

MY QUESTION is: What would be a better set top box style receiver to get the tougher signals? I am using a GTMEDIA V7s2x
Would a faster processor be able to see the higher Symbol rates?
Also I want H.265 video decoder.

You probably need a bigger dish. If I had to replace my 12 footers I'd go with a 15 footer next time. As for a STB, a lot of people seem to like the Edision osmio4k.
