If it's patched with the patches posted on this list a few weeks ago by Andreas Regel (or used with his repo at http://powarman.dyndns.org/hg/v4l-dvb) it locks perfectly on every transonder on 1.0W, without them it does not. I also have an S2-3200 and a NOVA-HD-S2 but they can't handle all transponders symbol rates so I highly recommend the S2-1600. Bought them for <€50 in Germany. /Magnus H
