[linux-dvb] Re: DVB-s Satellite Internet help needed.

[amen ra <mylordra@yahoo.com.au>]

The ISP provider does not use proxy or VPN and is just
based on source IP address. You can connect to the
Internet for uploading via any ISP and then download
via the Satellite ISP.

How do I set the FEC to 2/3 ?
How do I set LNB LO (Local Oscillator) Frequency low,
switch and high to 11300000 ?

I am using RedHat 8.0 with 2.4.18 kernel and a
Hauppage DVB-s rev 2.1
