Re: [linux-dvb] Re : Re : No lock possible at some DVB-S2 channels with TT S2-3200/linux

Hi,

on the frequency you've mentioned I didn't have any problem (never). But at 
lyngsat it is reported as 11914MHz. I never used freq. shifting (only 
tested), it was not reasonable for me.

Problems I have are at transponders with 8PSK modulation. 

Thanks and Best Regards,

Ales
