Hi, I just got myself a Comag HD receiver and I noticed that there are two FTV HD channels at 9E. The picture quality of both is absolutely stunning. However, I was wondering why they broadcast different content. Is one meant for one market and the other for a different market? The one at 11881 V is in 8PSK (DVB-S2), the one at 11919 V is in DVB-S. At first I thought that they were the same and the 8PSK one simple had a higher bitrate. Does anyone know the difference between the two feeds? Thank you! | ||

My System: Covering 30W-105.5E range, two motors, C and Ku band. Various receivers/cards/cams/etc. | Are you sure about different content? I haven't noticed any difference besides small time lag. Will check today again. One of them is also transmitted with higher power (don't remember now which one), but I even can get it, when my dish is aligned to 7E. | ||

I've seen some awful quality pictures on MPEG4 channels when this happens (my theory, anyway). Llew | ||
