[QUOTE="SciDoctor, post: 867714, member: 11346"] Well I had enough of the instability, moved the 7010ix back to the main pc and dug out my moth-balled server ( tyan k8we, 2x opteron 290, 8Gb with highpoint 4320 eight disk hardware raid 6, built over 4 years ago VISTA 64). Old now but very good. Updated the OS etc , windows update took many hours, put the 6284 in the spare x16 slot and installed the latest MP. That was over a week ago and the whole system has worked without issues, many many hours of recordings and fully stressing the tuners and networking etc. What I can make of this is that the 6284 as with my initial thoughts is very good. In 64 bit OS it worked a dream but in the 32 bit OS had severe problems. Now the 32 bit OS is on possibly an old motherboard, so this could be the issue but and a big but is that the 7010ix works without issues in the same setting. Only two downsides to the server, rackmount chassis with standard fans, eight of them, what a noise and the size! Now the only slight issue wit the 6284 is the signal strength reading it never changes from 90/90 even when the signal is poor. The 7010ix had good range within MP [/QUOTE]
