first, news. I received a email from ebay that the Ham-it-up was on sale for 5% off. I checked and it was (but it's only $2 savings). Considering I don't have any SMA adapters to enjoy the ham-it-up right away, I passed because of the lack of adapters in my possession right now and the fact it's only $2 discount. Check Nooelec's ebay seller page as that offer may be good to any ebay user for the next day or two, not just for those like me that received an email alert possibly because of my recent dongle purchase.
now a question (and I don't want the answer to be 'that's what a DVB PCI card is for!'). My adapter to use the dongle with my satellite system will be here in a few days so I'll be able to investigate those many VSAT like carriers to see if any happen to be decodable audio services. I was thinking if I came across a DVB-S/S2 signal that might be SR 700, would I be able to use SDRSHARP to select the center frequency and stream it on my 127.0.0.1 port (xxxxx) to some DVB-S/S2 app that would take that stream from over the network and tune it and display it? I know it's easy-peasy with a DVB-S/S2 PCI card and tuner/display software that comes with the card, but I wonder if it can be done with the dongle in place of a PCI tuner card for those less than 6 MHz wide DVB-S/S2 carriers.
