My understanding is that DVB-S2 means the whole transponder must comply (maybe someone could clarify?). It's possible they're taking a pragmatic approach with freesat's launch imminent. Either way though, if the BGT3540's DVB-S2 support has "disappeared", it really does have no feature advantage over the Pinnacle card. Seeing as it's useless to me as it is with it's current sleep issues, I'll clarify the DVB-S2 side of things with Blackgold and then return it and try the Pinnacle.
