The Digital Devices MAX M4 Gen2 is a multi standard tuner card with 4 HDTV tuners on a single card with PCIe connector.

The card supports four independent DVB-S/S2/S2X ISDB-S tuners via four separate connectors.

In addition the card supports four independent DVB-C/T/T2 ISDB-C/T Tuners via one connector.


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.
