The Digital Devices MAX M8 is a multi standard tuner card with 8 tuners on a single card with PCIe connector.

The high density of the design, the low powerconsumption and Unicable®1 and JESS®2 support make the card ideal and flexible for these applications:

  • DVB-S/S2/S2X, ISDB-S/S3,
  • DVB-C, ISDB-C,
  • DVB-T/T2, ISDB-T

The card can be used with Windows® 7, 8, 10, 11 and Linux operating systems.

Unicable mode requires only one coax cable to support 8 tuners using Unicable®.

Using JESS® the card can be connected to up to 32 tuners with just one coax cable.


1 Requires Unicable®/SCR/CENELEC En50494 compliant LNB or multi switch.
2 Requires Jess®/CENELEC En50607 compliant LNB or multiswitch.

4 Maximum DVB-S2/S2X LDPC bitrate is limited to 720 Mbit/s. This bitrate is defined as symbolrate * bits/symbol, i.e. 8PSK 30 Msymbols = 90 Mbit/s. The used bitrate is dynamically allocated by the driver. DVB-S channels don't contribute to the limit.
