[Y|O 914]

I was just wondering if the (VisionPlus VP-DTV Satellite)-(Digital FTA PCI Satellite Receiver) http://sadoun.com/Sat/Products/TwinH...DTV-Sat-CI.htm -would work with Direct TV cause i was planning on getting it but i dont know if it would work with Direct TV with out having a problem ?

Thanks

Looks to me like a C/Ku FTA DVB receiver with CI built in. I doubt that it would be able to decrypt DTV; but Sadoun will know for sure.

Hi,

It will not. Read the following: Because DTV went on the air before the MPEG-2/DVB standard was ratified, they don't use standard MPEG-2. Much like GI, they use MPEG-2 video encoding, but use strange audio encoding and system information packets. Additionally, the DSS service uses variable FEC values depending on how they have the the transponders on the satellite configured. The DSS data stream is transmitted the same way as all other MPEG-2 satellite services, however, due to its differences, is incompatible with MPEG-2/DVB receivers.

got it from this page http://www.coolstf.com/mpeg

Nuff said.
