Analog tuner in ASUS P7131 Dual

Anyone hawing any luck using the analog tuner in ASUS MyCinema P7131 Dual?

I can't get it to work. First I have problems with the autotune feature in configuration.exe. It crashes every time the autotune is completed. The found channels is saved but if I start configuration.exe again and tries to look at or change any of the channels it crashes again.

When I start MP with the channels tuned I have different kinds of problems and I can't use MP to look on TV or record shows. The problems range from regular crashes of MP to a inresponsive MP and even one total system crash with the famous blue screen.

I do not have these kind of problems when I use the DVB-T part of the card or when I use my Hauppauge PVR-150. It's only when I try to use the analog part of the ASUS P7131 card.

I've prepared a little page with logs for someone to look at. I can't myself find something in the logs that makes me any more wiser...

The logs shows a newly installed MP with a first run of the configuration wizard which crashes after autotuning. Then another succesful run of the wizard. And last log files from an example of a crash when I started MP, started TV and then turned time-shifting off.

The log files is available on http://torbjorn.redirectme.net/

I hope that someone is able to find out what went wrong here...

Does this card have stereo sound and does it have onboard MPEG2 decoding?

It's hard to find out anything about this card. I'm thinking of buying it because it comes in SFF. The only size that fits in my casing.

I don't remember exactly....

Thank you. I've decided not to buy it becous of MPEG2 encoding support.

Does anyone now of a SFF or Low Profile TV-card with Teletext, Dual Tuner, Stereo en FM tuner? I'm looking for one.

I've cut a piece off of my old ASUS TV/FM card, so it fits in my low profile casing for now. This card also has no MPEG2 encoding support, and is no dual tuner. But it works for now :)
