Is there a STB that will receive Turbo signals when ITC? No computer things please, just receivers. Nothing bad here, just for when things may show up unexpectedly. 
8PSK Turbo?

I'm sure the SonicView 8000 HD also had a turbo-8psk board . I know that the Coolsat 8000/8100 never had an option for that modulation. Some of the Dish Network stuff is still QPSK ( maybe mpeg4 compression) and most HD receivers can pick that up, if it's ITC.
Thanks, guys! I've seen ITC QPSK recently but sometimes the turbo stuff goes ITC, and I'd like to be able to see those too.
If I were looking for such an stb, I think the SV-8000 would be the best, I'm leery of heat problems with the Pansat 9200. I suspect there are other boxes that could demodulate Turbo-8psk, probably most of the HD hacker boxes on ebay, but I suspect the Sonicview is the best quality. [edit] I notice an Sv-8000 on ebay , currently bid at $100 , with an 8psk board installed.
euro you should be set with that one! I think that old buzzplus I have has that exact same chip listed on the specs, lol.
Yes, it should be Mpeg-4. Maybe the Sonicview doesn't support mpeg-4, I've never had one. It was such a popular hacker box, that you'd think it must be incorporated into the firmware. ???? [edit] I just googled on "sonicview sv-8000 and mpeg4" and some old threads had it definitely decoding Turbo 8psk mpeg4 . I suspect that the mpeg4 is a rom extension on board the 8psk expansion board.

Cool. Sounds like I'll be adding one of these to the receiver collection very soon! (Right after the Azbox)
Might have to try and resurrect my retired SV-8000. It took a lightning hit and has a few swelled components in the PS area. Hope that is all that is wrong with it...
