Does the Prof-7500 really do DSS??

I've been using my Genpix, Twinhan 1020a, and TBS-6925 for DSS transponders, however yesterday, I was searching through some old messages, and I noticed a couple people saying that the PROF-7500 would also do DSS.  Since it is very similar to the 6925, I thought that this seemed possible.
   I've had a PROF-7500 for several months now, but I've kept it in a computer that I just run tests on, plus I don't use it to stream to TSREADER from Crazyscan, since that messes up TSREADER.
   Anyway, I plugged in the coax to the dish aimed at a DSS sat, ran Crazyscan with the PROF, and sure enough, it locked the DSS transponders.  However, not wanting to stream to TSREADER, I didn't check to see if it really worked, re seeing the PIDs, etc.
   So I moved the PROF over to my main computer.  After trying to remember which drivers I had been using, I finally got it running, and locked the 101 sat, and tried streaming to TSREADER.    NOTHING, NO PIDS , this is after loading the TCP-DSS source.  Since this process works with the 6925, it seems strange that if the PROF is really locked on the DSS signal, why couldn't TSREADER decode the stream??
   Is the PROF not really getting a lock on these transponders, and is sending gibberish to TSREADER, or am I perhaps using the wrong drivers?   I had tried one older driver, which gave me that "RF Scan Not Supported" error in Crazyscan, but then I switched to a driver from Nov 2012, which was some "fixed" driver posted by Crazycat.  I also downloaded the most recent driver on the PROF site, which was dated Oct 2012, but I didn't try that since it was older than the Crazycat driver.
 
   Anyway, has anyone actually gotten the PROF to decode DSS signals, or is it just some partial lock, but streams gibberish???   Will using the driver on the PROF site help?
