hi malikanwer171

dvb = Digital Video Broadcasting

there are different kinds
- dvb-t = terrestrial
- dvb-c = cable
- dvb-s = satellite
- dvb-s2 = satallite, in mpeg4 - eq for hd

for watching hd-sat channels you need a dvb-s2 tuner.

a lot more info on wikipedia

Re: dvb-s2 receiver

Normal "dvb" means mpg2 video, dvb-s2 means mpg4 video (h.264 codec) and the possibility for hd-tv. The audio is nearly the same (mp2 and ac3).
Dvb-s2 uses 8psk and qpsk transponder, dvb only qpsk.

DVB-S2 is a second gen broadcasting standard commonly used for HD services. If you intend to watch HD channels you want to get yourself a DVB-S2 receiver. If you want some background reading have a look at _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-S2
