Default Replacing Hauppage HVR-1300

Hello,

I originally bought a Hauppage HVR-1300, but after discovering all my S3 problems was caused by this card (black screen on resume, fail to resume from usb etc) I need a new card.

Mainly using DVB-T now, but am contemplating going DVB-S soon. Any advice on cards? Absolutely have to use S3.

EDIT:
Having looked around a bit, it seems FloppyDTV comes highly recommended, seeing as it is a firewire product I suppose the problems I've been having with sleep/resume shouldn't be there.

How are they quality wise though? Currently receiving DVB-T so I guess I would get a FloppyDTV T card for now and a FloppyDTV S2 card when I switch to sattelite?

I would rather dish out more than have to put up with a bad quality product, but I'm not really experienced with any tuners except for the HVR-1300 that's been causing me S3 problems.

floppydtv is highly recommended by devs of mp so i guess it should work very good.

I have a HVR-1300 working in a system (S3 enable) fairly well. If this can help you i am using MCE Standby Tool to set up the system properly.
