Hi,

I'm trying to manual scan a transponder, and would need to set a particular modulation type: 16APSK,

Which I do not find in the various modulation types / settings;

Is there an equivalent in ProgDVB for 16APSK (which one would I need to select)? Should I select "not defined"? Or is it a parameter we're missing for the moment?

Thanks for any help - suggestions!

Hm. What device you have?

Thanks for reply and follow up,

I use FireDTV S2 firewire and Terratec S7

Would like to try Skystar USB 2 CI and / or Technotrend 3650, don't know if their chipsets / tuners are more sensible / powerful

Vista x86 and W7 x64

But why you need this modulation? I think it quite exotic.

Thanks for follow up,

I need this exotic modulation to... watch tv!

Thought ProgDVB is the best for Windows, and ProgDVB "Pro" is for professional use, as the name implies,

A lot of people use it for blind scans, view 4:2:2 feeds, and specially watch adult channels,
One of the first things about ProgDVB you read on the net, is the plug ins people advise to install to decrypt and go... erotic,
I think it's cheaper and better quality to get a 60 or 80 € subscription to adult channels or simply surf the net, than watching those channels with continuous crashes, and I don't think everybody gets ProgDVB (specially the pay version) to watch only ? WHAT ?

But some would like a really "Pro" version with all modulations, a software a bit more capable than the free software that we get with the sat hardware


Specially if you watch tv on a small pc screen with a program that crashes all the time (but at least there are continuous updates, which is very serious and nice from developers), and an OS that gives blue screen crashes with pleasure (at least W7 reboots quicker than XP and Vista)

At least you get to see everything when there is stability, as I cannot afford an 800 € Sat decoder to have all modulations or 4:2:2 feeds and a nice LCD / Plasma, it would be great to have all modulations and technical features / parameters, and a software for the masses to see tv, And was hoping in ProgDVB

Thanks for help, I guess by your answer ProgDVB does not have 16APSK or 32APSK modulations, please advise on what to do or when there is going to be a real implementation of "professional" standards or needs?

Many thanks for interest, meanwhile I am depressed as I can't go exotic...

Where I can test 16APSK? What satellite?

Thanks for follow up and help,

Hotbird and AB3, weak signals,

Take care

Added. But your hardware also must support 16APSK.

Great! Thanks!

Take care
