Yes! Too much.
Anyone knows if this demodulator is able to receive DVB-S2X, too? If so, clouds are darker, because broadcasters could choose just these box, so their transition towards new modulation types (including DVB-S2X, not just NS3 and NS4) would be easier for them (not for us unfortunately).
Also, I don't understand what NS3-Enhanced means.... is it the same like NS4 or something different? Thanks.

"NovelSat is a technology company dedicated to providing the next-generation modulation standard for satellite communications. NovelSat supports DVB-S, DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X*.

Other than that (and other than EBU Hypermux at 7 East), anyone knows more NS3/NS4 frequencies? Looking mainly for more EBU and Globecast international feeds. Thanks.

Hello guys,

What do you think about TBS 690A DVB-ASI Capture card?
Would it pair ok with the NS2000 demodulator for recording and viewing the feeds with the usual programs like DVBDream?

I don't know that card, but I suggest you carefully check ASI input specs before buying. NS3 uses very high bandwidth, so ASI card must get at least 200 MB/s of speed. Many cards do not reach this value. I know Alitronika ASI to USB devices, they perfectly make what you are looking for.

I don't seem to find any piece of hardware from alitronika that can handle symbol rate more than 45 Ms/s. Am I wrong when I assume it can't handle those SR 68.57 Ms/s NS3 transponders?

alitronika AT4USB
DVB-ASI Input/Output Bit Rate: 0 to 214 Mbit/s.

It works with NS2000 without any problems.

I confirm. Tested. Exact model name is AT40USB.
Symbol rate is not an issue, because it is managed from decoder (NS2000), not the interface. I referred to bitrate, not SR, and it reaches 214 MB/s as mentioned by sens333.

Any news on alternative ways of watching ns3 without ns2000 demodulator?

It seems ns3 feeds are becoming more and more frequent. I remember when it was being said in the forums quite a few months ago that tbs was working on something. Nothing from any manufacturer yet?
