hi all hvr4000 "friends"

i am wondering if someone has this card working a little more then I do.

i have dvb-s working quite good. the only thing what I can say positively about thisc card is that it at least reports a better signal strength and also SNR. so it is possible that the part "before" the chipset from the viewpoint of the signal arriving from space it may have a better "tuner".

but so far ... has someone dvb-s2 working? (on linux/not freebsd!!)

That card definitely works on DVB-S2. The only problem I had with that card is its fragility. I have a few burnt HVR 4000 (lite) cards in the lab.

yes? it works definitely? and how is that? again, I need something to see and as long as it doesnt tune in and as long as no data is flowing i can NOT see how it could be working.

what fragility do you mean? did she burned out/ overheating, or what kind of fragility?

Definitely works using szap-s2. Tuning works and so is the data. I don't have access to the system right now.

One of the chip on the board got burned for all the burnt cards.
