Has it not changed to DVB S2 from DVB S as well?

 

[PaulR]

William has posted it as DVB-S2.

 

[Dave5118]

Yes, just pointing out it was DVB-S previously ;)

That is correct 3 parameters have changed I have just finished updating some Free to Air boxes & TV's.

The majority of receivers only need the symbol rate changed as most receivers do not display FEC or modulation type DVB-S2 as this is done automatically & unseen by the display.

On Multi-stream receivers video info:-
Video type H264 generally indicates MPEG-4 in use,
Display Video type MPEG-2 is self explanatory,
Video type H265 generally indicates HEVC in use.

No FEC display,
No DVB-S2 display
Some MS receivers such as the Octagon SX-88 & SX 88+ do indicate screen resolution ie 704 x 576 Sky News 19.2 east,BBC World News HD 19.2 east 1920 x 1088,FreeSport HD 28.5 east 1920 x 1088,
I do not include all this information as very few receivers are capable of showing all the video & audio parameters.

I got scared when I saw the change to FEC 8/9 DVB-S2, but theoretically should be a tiny easier to get this one for fringe reception thanks to QPSK modulation, 8PSK and FEC 8/9 that would be a nightmare!
