Can someone confirm that the skystar2 supports mpeg4 streams? I cant seem to be able to pickup any of the premiereHD channels from 19.2, I cant even get any signal from the transponder. Are the channels even up yet?
Thanks

The card can support MPEG4 but not DVB-S2 which Premiere is using the card is designed for DVB-S.

Is SkyHD DVB-S2 as well then?

Forget that last question, a quick trip to lyngsat answered my question, they are all DVB-S2!
I gotta get me a DVB-S2 PCI card, but there doesnt seem to be any yet available. Seen the technotrend over at DVBshop but no stock :(
