SINT-NIKLAAS, BELGIUM: Satellite communications specialist Newtec has begun real-world demonstrations and testing of the new DVB-S2X standard which was published at the end of February 2014 by the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) Project.
After many years of research and development, Newtec teamed up in February 2012 with other DVB-members to define a more efficient successor to DVB-S2. Today the extensions to the DVB-S2 standard are available and named "DVB-S2X". The new standard, which features technologies available and implemented on Newtec's existing product range, brings multiple new capabilities on top of DVB-S2
There is a new standard, which they are testing on G17 right now. The article says it works with existing hardware and all you need is a software upgrade.
Would it be possible for the current Prof or TBS tuners to lock DVB-S2X signals with modified drivers or is this going to require completely new tuners?
