Does this box decode S2X transmissions 19.2E 33.1E

Hi,
Unfortunately the freesat GTC model does not work S2X multistream.
It works 16APSK/32APSK. However, S/Q levels shown 0 % always.
GTC not noted 16/32APSK, but my GTC works.

Thanks shame it wasn't implemented lots of transmissions will be used in this format in the near future.

Yes I too looked for the multistream on the GTC.
That would be a great feature to have.

if they could implement S2X/ multistream/ 4.2.2 it would be a wonderful box.

I'm sorry, currently not supported, you must have the machine hardware support before they can!

That's a shame the GTX will be left behind, most new 4K boxes are supporting S2X and multistream.

To receive a multi stream you must have a DVB-S2x tuner. E.g. the Zgemma H5.2S has one DVB-S2x tuner in the secondary slot - or - the HD51 with a separately sold DVB-S2x tuner.
Currently in Europe Multistream channels exists on Eutelsat 5 West (France and Italian Channels) and Eutelsat 12 West (Italian Channels).
Input stream is a stream number that can have 3 digits. If the code is 2 then you enter: 002
The PLS mode can be Root, Gold or Combo.
The PLS code can be 6 digits. Some Italian channels have code 8. Then you enter: 000008.

So if Transponder is DVB-S2/8PSK it can't be supported by GTC?

Yes DVB-S2/8PSK is supported.
Multi stream is a format that has for example four sets of eight channels being transmitted over one TP.
These sets of eight channels are for re transmission via terrestrial TV.
Here In NZ and Australia there is a multi stream TP with one set for Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide cities.
The Freesat units find these channels one set of eight at a time when scanning, but will not display them as the Freesat unit tries to take data from each of the four groups, not just one.

This is the multi stream that is being talked about.
Normal channels sets on DVB-S2/8PSK work OK.

Ok, thanks for an explanation.
