[QUOTE="Mercbac, post: 359275, member: 48233"] OK, So now I purchased an SP400, which is recognized by Vista SP1 (32bit) as a Cinergy S2. Vista installs a driver (1.1.0.101) but with that one MP doesn't even see a signal. Trying to install version 1.1.1.301 from Terratec's website results in a yellow exclamation mark in device manager (driver cannot start) and installing the previous version from Terratec's website (1.1.0.601) has the effect that Terratec's cinema software tells me "no supported hardware found". So now I have two different DVB-S2 tuners (Cinergy S2 and FloppyDTV-S2), both recommended by people on the forums here, who no doubt have them running fine, but in my case they are a complete disaster. So after 10 months my HTPC project is a complete nightmare because I simply cannot get a reliable tuner up. And reliable to me is more than "it may fail once every week or so". I'm still waiting for a reply from Terratec's techsupport, but if anyone has any good suggestions, I'd be more than happy to give about anything a try. [/QUOTE]
