We were both talking about the sat version of KNC1+, not KNC1! You said and I quote: "The Mystique is just a rebranded KNC1+", which is not true. That's why I originally said that it's *similar* to Mystique, which *is* true. It might be the same as plain KNC1 or dozens of other rebranded versions, but that wasn't the point. The misconception is that "Mystique is KNC1+ clone" -- it is not. Perhaps I could have mentioned basic TV Station DVB-S too, but I didn't expect I'll have to defend every word I say. Now that I think about it, I'm glad I didn't - your inability to comprehend the simplest of meanings shines like the sun.
Your follow-up comment was completely useless, arbitrary trolling. If you could face the life like a man instead of a cry baby, you wouldn't have the need to patronise me (unsuccessfully:)) in an unrelated thread just because of our earlier argument. You should be ashamed of yourself. You're a DVB driver developer and you have a hard time arguing with somebody who has seen DVB-S for the first time in his life a month ago! > > So support for it just appeared like magic ? > Were you arguing with one of your other personalities in your head that I missed something? I'm afraid you are a bit confused today, or you misinterpret the meaning of my words on purpose, or are just pissed off at me. :) Whatever. Because it might be your weak English, I'm not going to call you an idiot like you called me a few times today, even though this time it *would* be appropriate. It's the same thing as in the other thread all over again. It's impossible to have a normal intelligent conversation with you. I'm not going to support your trolling any more. As usual, I wish you good luck in your efforts.
