Maybe it's only you but I see your search for higher symbol rates on many lists and forums so I thought it was worth a warning ;-) I've used some of the 45Msym/s transponders on 1w at times.

I don't get anything bigger than 27500 for normal TV but I did go to a demo at the EBU a year or so ago of two transponders combined to give 95Msym/s, that needs some very special receiver equipment!!

IIRC it should be released at beginning of december, but I must admit I'll wait and see abit that some more adventurous people try it to see if the combination hardware/drivers is able to live up to their claims.
