Yeah, you're right !

And as far as i know the H+ has a very similar chipset compared to the dvb-s
!?
Maybe it's somehow possible !
Would be a nice feature.

Unfortunately the software doesn't say anything about hardware
recommendations :-(
And i have not installed my h+ at the moment ...

How could we determine if it's possible with the dvbs card ?
Someone posted earlier that a mpeg2 stream of pure i-frames is too large for
the dvbs to handle, right ?
What about a combination of I- and P- frames (B-) ? I'm not very familiar
with these...

I think we should first know the maximum bandwidth for the video that will
be accepted by the dvbs card ?

Martin.
