It's strange encodings - I've read about it. Normally in DVB-S you can 
have MPEG2 only and majority of DVB-S hardware is unable to copy with that.
I've heard that you can work with it on DVB-S2 standalone UK sat. 
receiver or with DVB-S PCI computer card and Windows ProgDVB, AVC hacked 
software. But to play such stream you definitely must have +3GHz CPU and 
a lot of RAM. It have too much data in stream to decode (20Mbps for 
1080i AVC is hideous).
