[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1122830, member: 178786"] [USER=175005]@John[/USER] Interesting, your Promax is reading 1.3db higher than your TBS card. Have you put this to the test to see if the Promax can create a picture on an FTA signal with Promax above the theoretical lock level and the the TBS card is below the lock level and unable to send a picture to VLC? A candidate would be an 8PSK signal with FEC of 3/4 (7.9 dB for a lock). Alternatively, 8PSK with FEC of 5/6 (9.4 dB for a lock).
