TBS 6925 PCi Card with hardware blind scan in DVB-S2 and DVB-S

[Llew]

I see BuyDVB is now saying its floor for the SR is 200, the packaging says 1000.

I think 1-45 Msps is a standard specification for the particular chips used in the card, and TBS use this as a general guide for the consumer. There doesn't appear to be many SRs of below 1000 except the specialised channels we've been checking, most above 1000 I suppose are normal 'broadcast' channels.

I guessed the same Llew, still thinking this card is something very special and worth every penny for what it can do, till 64APSK or even 128APSK feeds start popping up.

 

[Llew]

LOL, been checking for those too. Will almost certainly be data stuff though, just want to see the constellation displays

*LOL* that will be UFO watching. DVB-S2 doesn't go higher than 32APSK

Yet, it's been talked about though.

Speaking of 32APSK NFL feed is back at 22w in the clear mentioned a few pages back.

nice find the 32APSK feed At what time is the NFL feed active?

..talking about > 32APSK. It is of course possible that carriers with higher modulation schemes exist. But TBS6925 won't be able to demodulate these signals. There are different parameters for each transmission mode and I don't think that TBS has implemented higher modes which are unknown and not (yet) defined in DVB-S2 ;)

It seems to be active only Tuesdays when there is one game around 0030 BST but the feed was incredibly weak last night I lost it before the game started Much weaker than the NFL kick off game which was rock solid. Guess they're onto us at TV2GO.

I know the TBS card won't support the higher modulations, I assumed people would understand what I meant in my posts a few back, the TBS card is sorted till these specs are defined and in use

Don't know if its been mentioned but I found AB7 carriers - 10700 - 10940 V + H @ 13.2w
Can somebody confirm?

 

[BlindFaith]

yes, they are testing the transponders. Not only low band but high band as well. Alas no locks yet, but you can seen some interersting constellation diagrams with the TBS 6925.

so far 24 frequencies show carriers:

10719H/V
10765H/V
10804H/V
10842H/V
10878H/V
10915H/V

12119H/V
12155H/V
12195H/V
12235H/V
12385H/V

I am seeing carriers at 12.5w so anyone got an exact location?

 

[BlindFaith]

my list was not complete (can't find the edit button ;) )
high band:

12119H/V
12155H/V
12195H/V
12235H/V
12272H/V
12310H/V
12350H/V
12385H/V

28 transponders in total

 

[BlindFaith]

according to my calculations the position is 13,3W. That means Lyngsat with 13,2W should be right. If you don't have a very big dish, the signal on 12,5W should be strong enough ;)

 

[remlap]

Hmm I guess the tracking sites haven't stopped updating then

Thanks mate.

 

[Llew]

So is this the usual testing position for new Eutelsat/Atlantic bird satellites?

 

[remlap]

It seems it was even announced she would be there

 

[BlindFaith]

another frequency has been added:

12425H/V
