[QUOTE="mathius, post: 411001, member: 91041"] Hi Owlsroost -I tried those drivers, they picked up the analogue side of this hybrid card. -I then switched the PCI slot. -This, against all odds, improved the situation somewhat. I might have a dodgy PCI slot - as the original drivers then picked up both digital and analogue receivers within MP TV Server. Or perhaps I am dealing with an unstable driver. -MP TV Server crashes when searching digital but not analogue, no channels available despite my aerial being right by the window where my Plasma TV picks up all channels with 100% clarity using the same rabbit ears. -VMC does not pick up the card as valid, rolls it's doughnut for a while then reports that there are no receivers available. I can conclude that this product is crap. The application supplied with the card is notoriously unstable, and to add to that this card does not work in any workable fashion with either VMC or MP TV server. There may possibly be a hardware fault with this particular card, but I am more inclined to agree with other 'sufferers' that this card has poorly assembled hardware, or badly made drivers, or both, coupled with a certainly terrible application package. You have been warned :) I would have thought that Compro would recall this product given the bad press it receives, but perhaps Compro do not intend to be around that long before a secret rebrand - personally this puts a personally black mark on this company.
