Anyone tried Viewsat Max HD for NBC?

[gdavisloop]

Anyone tried the Viewsat Max HD (or Viewsat 9000) on the NBC DVB-S2 8PSK feeds? (C band or Ku band?) Any luck? Anyone found another receiver that works well on these feeds? For the record, I've tried the Pansat 9200HD and the Coolsat 9100 and the results are 'mixed' - to put it politely.
thank you,

There are some useful comments in other threads.
Give a search.
I remembered one and looked it up.
This is particularly interesting.

Those feeds are in chroma 4:2:2, you won't get them with those receivers. PC card works great.

NBC's 8PSK/DVB-S2 feeds are not 4:2:2; you're thinking of their old SD-Ku feeds.

There should be no issue with the Coolsat 8000 / 8100 or Pansat 9200 w/ proper Add-On tuner.

I used a Diamond 9000 with no issues.

on AMC-1 they are 4:2:2, a Qualitv or computer will be needed to tune them in.

on AMC-18 they are dvbs-2 8psk, now a Cool-8000 & 8100, Diamond-9000 or Pansat-9000 or 9200 with the extra tunner, or computer will tune them in.

don't know about the Viewsat Max, I know the Viewsat-9000 will not tune any S2 stuff, that was my only Viewsat I have owened, an it was 1 to maney for me.
