Hi,

I want to direct the dish to Astra 19,2° E. Unfortunately the
Astra-Website doesn't say anything about what standard (DVB-S or DVB-S2)
is used for what transpoder. Can DVB-S2-devices operated as
DVB-S-devices via the standard-DVB-API? Which channels are transmitted
as DVB-S? (I'm especially interested in HD-channels like arte and Anixe)
It would be nice to hear some experiences from Astra 19,2°E-users in
Germany/Europe. (A backport for the S2-API for MythTV 0.21 would also
be nice ;) )

Thanks,
Carsten
