So you managed to tune to this high rate transponder with a nova HD S2, 
interesting. But as I said this new generation of dvb-s2 cards from TBS 
seems to be even better at these high symbol rates (I have no TBS 
actions, I swear ;-) So I guess I'll try one, but only after the driver 
has gotten some good press ;-)
