apparently only 256apsk CCM and may be VCM so no ACM
driver with closed source & may be and no crazyscan I guess !
any way I don't know ...

according to Crazycat :

Max-sx8 has "Linux drivers open-source, but STiD135 demod controled by on-board MCU (or FPGA).
STiD135 have full ACM/VCM support + advanced DVB-S2X features.

TBS 6909x also based on this "monster" chip Controled from host (driver)"

Does this mean that Crazyscan, EBSpro and IQmonitor .... don't work with Max SX8 ??

thank you very much Crazycat for explanation

flie:"Does this mean that Crazyscan, EBSpro and IQmonitor .... don't work with Max SX8 ??"

Crazycat:"answer more simple - any DD don't work with StreamReaderEx-BDA and mentioned software which use it ""

**I believe that "Digital Devices" has a blind program of its own, or may not exist at all
