I think I will wait with DVBS2, my current focus is to solve all the
small issues I have with my current setup.

Maybe I hit the bug mentioned by Michel some months ago and never
realized the underlying problems. I sometimes had some defective
recordings but never took care of really finding the reason. It was just
annoying from time to time, but never that important ...

Now, as I moved to new hardware, I want to "get it all right" and this
lead to this thread.
