Woo Hoo! I just bought a Viewsat MaxHD with 8PSK module off Ebay for $90. I've never used a Viewsat, but it does DVB-S2, 8PSK, has PVR capabilities, and blind scan. For $90 I couldn't pass it up. Thank God for ex-hackers.

8PSK in it is only for Dish Network (which is now encrypted). Will not work with regular 8PSK like NBC

but that was over a year ago so it may have changed. Highly unlikely but it might have changed

CRAP!!! I would have researched it further, but the auction was up in a few minutes. I guess it's not all that bad, though. My Coolsat was getting a little flaky, and at least it has the PVR capabilities. It also came with a 3 port DiSEqc switch and a USB flash drive. So all in all it still wasn't too bad of a deal. And who knows, they may fix the S2 problem in the future.

Anyway, thanks for the info Ice.
