Tuning and monitoring of satellite stations in 4K / 8K resolution

Hi, around 2015 (maybe maybe a little later I don't know exactly) I tuned the Astra 19.2 E at that time to test stations on Full HD and Full HD 3D and to my surprise, despite the weak hardware and GPU of the computer, it worked for me and a little later about 1 - 2 years later, testing for 4K came out, which I also ran with ProgDVB (although it worked choppy, but it worked!). However, now I have a question about tuning and monitoring stations in 4K UHDV 3840 × 2160 (2160p) or 8K UHDV 7680 × 4320 (4320p).
Stations that are already broadcasting FTA using ProgDVB cannot even be tuned in - why?
All UHD TVs no longer have a problem tuning in and making it possible to watch.
Will there be such a tuning option on ProgDVB in the near future?
Satellite stations such as: Mooz 4K, WOW 4K, 4K Heritage, NASA UHD are already broadcasting on Intelsat 10-02, for example on the frequency:
12705 V DVB-S2 System Encryption: HEVC / UHD 4K SR: 45000 FEC: 3/4 Modulation: NBC-8PSK

What DVB device you have? No any problem with 4K many years in ProgDVB. But of course your DVB tuner must support DVB-S2 on hardware level.
Also check video codec if you have channel in list but not can playback

I have a PCI card for the computer model SKYSTAR HD 2 - product link:
https://www.technisat.com/en_XX/Downloa ... uctID=1682
In the settings of the manual search for satellite frequencies in ProgDVB, the highest value is SymbolRate (SR): 30000 higher does not let me go.
I suspect that my satellite card doesn't support a higher value. As you state that UHD TV goes on ProgDVB without any problems, there will only be a mistake on my satellite card.
Could you recommend me a model of a satellite card for a computer similar to the one I mentioned above and which can fully accept both UHD TV in 8K resolution?
Thank you for any good advice.

Quite old device and possible some problems with hi-bitrate. I am not good remember. But also possible tuner is good but signal level too small.
ps: Do you have signal in manual scanner? Channels after push on "scan" ?

After a detailed examination of the hardware and technical capabilities of my satellite card, I conclude that my card can accept the symbol rate up to 30,000. Above this value, it is not really able to do anything.
I found one product that could be a real option for watching UHD 4K programs in today's well. Do you have experience or any information or whether the ProgDVB program can work fully with this card?
Here is a link to a product I found as an option to solve my problem:

I think most modern tuners good for you (4k/8k or 720p - not important for tuner). Yes, many my users use TBS I hope good for you also.
ps: I cannot guarantee that the device will work 100%. But looks good.
