[QUOTE="Flipit, post: 59313, member: 11608"] [b]FireDTV[/b] Reading this forum and notice the comment on HD. Thought I'd better clarify, this is all on the Fired DTV forum too, but took me a while to find. Both FireDTV and FloppyDTV support HD broadcasts since the decoding of the transport stream is software based N.B. An MPEG4 codec would be needed. Some HD stream in DVB-S are avialable.. Kingofsat webiste lists them all. However, most providers will move to the DVB-S2 standard when they moved to MPEG4. FireDTV only supports DVB-S so new hardware would be required to demodulate the -S2 stream. SKY UK HD will be DVB-S2 MPEG4.. Good news is that the Digital-Everywhere team are aware of this and hope to have a working product for DVB-S2 some time before the end of the year... However there is no garantee that when the providers move to new standard that they will keep their current encyption algorythmns.... so using the Trex/Dragon CAM may not work...so far SKY are making sounds that they will stick with the current NDS implementation...don't hold your breath though...though the predator is never far behind ;-) As you can probably imagine small companies like digital everywhere are reluctant to invest in new hardware products they may not be able sell. Anyway to answer the question.. HD is supported if the modulation is DVB-S, new hardware will be needed if the modulation is DVB-S2. Enjoy [/QUOTE]
