Wod, just tuned into the Monte Carlo feed on 10.0E with my Nova HD S2. I can confirm that this card handles the 4:2:2 feed OK as long as you use a compatible codec (MainConcept for me). One thing to note though is that although the feed is in DVB-S2 / 4:2:2 it is not HD. The resolution looks to be 576i but has a very good bit rate of 11.7Mb/s. I have included a couple of screen caps.
