[QUOTE="Adam792, post: 1075971, member: 330868"] Just to add to this, in case it's helpful for anyone. I've just got a Satlink WS-6933 and I'm pretty impressed with it. As others have said, it doesn't demodulate so you need to check you're on the correct satellite with an actual receiver if it's a commonly used frequency/symbol rate combo. However, I'm really impressed with its accuracy with the ability to view the received C/N level. I've just tried it out on my 5°W dish and it's giving me C/N dB levels pretty much bang on the same as those reported by my TBS6905 PC card via the open source TBS drivers in TVHeadend. Reassuring to see it all seems to be calibrated nicely - on both sides! Also, it manages to lock perfectly well onto DVB-S2 multistream PLS transponders (e.g. 11509H and 12648V) which I wasn't expecting at all! This is the most useful feature for me. Although I guess this might be logical as it's not demodulating the signal (which would require the PLS code - the reason normal DVB-S2 receivers that don't support PLS report no signal I presume). The one I've got has come with all the usual suspects we receive here in Europe pre-programmed, but the transponder lists are a couple of years old so I will need to do a bit of modification to the lists, but I'm very happy with the purchase.
