Hello, I have a DVB-RCS system that operates over the Astra 1H Satellite.
It comes with a box with an ethernet port on the back... does IPsec and all sorts of good stuff. The dish looks great with all the cooling fins and stuff :) 328k uplink... lots down (individual connections are throttled to 100K/sec, but you can have lots of them at once. I was interested in using a seperate PCI card(s) rather than going through the box, as it's all solid state in there and I'd like to have a single 1U unit rather than this extra box.... I have pictures I'll get together. If anybody is serious about buying one of these, drop me a line.
