[QUOTE="c128, post: 296605, member: 53712"] If you switch your single LNB input to the other input (the one nearest the bottom of the card) then I expect you'll see the problem... If you do see it after doing this, I'd then register the issue with BlackGold so that they at least have your details. Although they've already claimed it's a driver issue, I'm suspecting that this is their standard response in order to avoid returns i.e. it could well be a hardware issue. To be honest, I'm losing some patience with the company... The S3 issues were resolved for me with a hardware replacement - again, they claimed there would be fix in the driver for those experiencing it if they could wait (sound familiar?), but such a driver never actually appeared (at least, I'm not aware of anyone who had the problems for whom it was actually solved by the new driver - all had to get a new card). Then there was the dropping of DVB-S2 support - this happened quietly on their web-site description without any flagging to current owners, many that had bought partly on the basis of "future proofing" themselves. I've also heard rumours about issues with DiSEqC - I [I]think [/I]this may have been flagged in the original product descrption too, although you won't find it there now. A shame, as this card shows promise, but I'd certainly advise anyone against considering it until at least the current tuner 4 issue is resolved. [/QUOTE]
