Is there a way to get channels with FEC 9/10 into the Hummy?
I have tried it through the search functions, but they do not let you set specific to 9/10 and with the "auto" function no luck.
I guess the answer is that Hummy is "too old" to pick this kind of channel up, but just wanted to double check.

why would you want fec 9/10 for sd receiver as far as I know it's used mostly for HD broadcasts

An FEC of 9/10 is only used on DVB-S2 transmissions, so you need a DVB-S2 enabled box, which i don't think yours is.

in a word , NO

most sd receivers wont pick up 9/10 at all , not compliant and too old

Thanks guys.
On 23.5 several channels appeared to be non-HD, but had this FEC 9/10.
Might start to look for replacement of my dear Hummy.
Any good suggestions? Will look through other threads.
