Cypris of team viewsat posted this info,in the vs max hd section:

8PSK and Turbo 8PSK is there a difference?

Yes 8PSK is pretty much a standard type of modulation used by many including many FTA satellites. This is a better modulation then the main DVB standard of QPSK. The VS MAX, 9000HD SV8000HD and pretty much all FTA HD receivers can do 8PSK right out of the box. Don’t get this confused with the Turbo 8PSK that DN uses. This is what the Add-on Module does. Many have become to call it an 8PSK Module or 8PSK Add-on however they are wrong. In fact it is a Turbo 8PSK Add-ON Module and adds the ability to demodulate DN Turbo 8PSK modulation they use. Hence DN advertising AD for Turbo HD or Turbo charging your HD cause in fact they use Turbo 8PSK. Let’s not confuse QPSK, 8PSK and Turbo 8PSK with Mpeg2 and Mpeg 4. Mpeg 2 and Mpeg 4 are a type of Video compression like MP3 is an audio compression but QPSK, 8PSK and Turbo 8PSK are a type of Modulation.

i beg to differ with this.....i dont really agree.....

the 8psk module basically upgrades an exsisting mpeg-2 reciever to an mpeg-4 reciever.....

when you buy an HD FTA reciever such as the SV8000 (just an example) it is an mpeg-2 reciever out of the box.....the 8psk module upgrades the reciever to an mpeg-4 reciever......

the 8psk module doesnt really have anything to do with HD content.....the 8psk module allows you to view mpeg-4 broadcasts.....wether they be in SD or HD is irrelevant......
