Default skystar HD or not?

following my other post,
I bought a used skystar HD DVB-S2, how can I be sure it is a HD model and not regular skystar DVB-S?

Thx again,
I.

Here are some options:

1) Try it out on DVB-S2 channels. You can find a good list of them on lyngsat/kingofsat.

2) Post up some pictures and someone I am sure will identify it.

3) Find some kind of identifier on the card and attempt to identify the card model.

I have a skystar 2 and I'm sure a few others do too, so if you post up a pic I am sure someone will help.

Cheers,

Stephen.

Thank you for your answer.
I tried few DVB-S2 channels but couldn't find FTA channels on 13E, 7E, 7W.

Do you know one?

When I'm using the skystar SW and searching for channels i have an option to look for DVB-S2 channels, do you also have it?

I will also try to post some pictures.
Thx.
