Twin Silicon dvb-s2 tuner

I could'n find information, whether Japhar Sim supports new Twin Silicon DVB-S2 tuner. Does it?

I have DM 800HD SE clone with Sim 2.10 (84d)
It works fine with BCM4505 tuner, but new Si2166b twin-tuner cannot work, even if upgraded to newest drivers.
I have tried many patched images, but they work only with BCM4505 tuner.

After searching over internet I found opinions, that this new tuner requires original drivers and original Sim card.
One possible option may be replacing my 2.10 Sim with A8P, but I can't be sure if it will work.

Another option wold be using Japhar SuperSim.
Question is - will it support this new tuner like original software?

I think, that if I replace sim with Japhar's and install original image it could work.

Dear bsat,

We are working on this direction, today only using an original Sim you will be able to use newer drivers than the ones used in the clones (Ferrari, Sim2, estar and Japhar).

We hope to have soon a good solution to your problem, but until it's not public we prefer to advise that it is coming, and will be publicly announced when we have finished it.

Hello Admin,

thanks for your quick comment.
I will be eagerly waiting for it.
It would be nice to know, when such solution will be available.
Could you estimate it?

As for software always, we cannot give a date of release, but once it will be ready we will advise about it, I really hope it to come very soon now ;o)
