yes and with the dvb-s2 you can use a dish like when you use a satelite dish the dish cable will go to the sat in on the back of the machine just like in your receiver.and if dish goes down you have iptv which is what they also have."best of both world."

ATSC.. I only ask because when I read the above wiki post it said that is used by digital cable as well, and I saw a icture of the new fuse with a crad and it looked like you could plug cable in it

Be interesting to see how one works in the field. I am wondering if it is equipped to handle IKS.
