What can you get with FTA 8PSK?

[gdavisloop]

Hello,
Aside from trying to steal dish network HD (which no one on this forum should do), what can you get with the consumer-grade 8PSK tuner board for a FTA receiver?
thank you,

There are a few C-band channels that need 8psk, with more coming as DVB-s2 8psk becomes more common over North America. I doubt anyone would buy such a board for what's currently available. By this time next year, though, hard to say. Most of us would like a combined dvb-s/dvbs-2 , HD , 4:2:2 capable, mpeg2 and mpeg4(h.264) compatible box, for a reasonable price.

Unfortunately the board the OP is talking about is not for DVB-S2 it is for turbo 8PSK. Which there isn't really anything up there right now that is not encrypted.

What channels are DVB-S2?

Does anyone know of any FTA channels in DVB-S2?
thanks again!

Here is a previous post about the 8PSK module.

Also, the Equity muxes are to be changing to DVB-S2, so that should be the start of the demand for the modules for other than "that illegal use". The G10R channels have not yet changed over to DVB-S2, but Gary from RTN has indicated it is comming.

Does that mean our FTA receivers won't be able to receive G10 and G3???
I have a Pansat 2700a and Viewsat Extreme receivers...

Once they convert to DVB-S2 we will need new receivers

I wish pansat would get off there asses and get their dvbs2 board out, thats what im waiting for. IM hoping that if I wait like a good little boy it will include 4:2:2 but its wish full thinking.

A certain "chilly" moderator at this very site has a Coolsat 8000, Mr Moderator, what say you about the CS 8K and DVB-S2?

 

[Mr Tony]

ya know I never tried it...there was nothing up at the time that I could get.

The issue is on C-Band when there is a DVB-S2 feed the 6 footer is too small to lock it

I still have the 8000 here so maybe I can try it out one of these days

Isn't there a data DVB-S2 on Ku somewhere?

 

[Mr Tony]

I checked Lyngsat and didnt see one

 

[goaliebob99]

What about mpeg4 in KU? I want to test out my panny!
