[QUOTE="dickbarton, post: 50546, member: 20270"] Hi There, Long time viewer, first time poster. For several months :( I have been trying to get the [b]Compro DVB T200[/b] to work with ANY software (esp the excellent MP!) Although it works most of the time the signal will sometimes vanish on channel change, even to a channel/mux that I know is good. A channel change will bring it back. Obviously for unattended recordings this is not good. I have tried every patch (running XP pro SP2) numerous clean install, my signal is good etc etc. I have searched this and other forums for info, other people have reported same problem but no resolution! I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the Compro is a dud, either in hardware or software(compro driver). However, some people have this card (or two of them!) and seem to be all-right with it, which is a puzzle. Could Compro have identified an issue with early production runs of this card, which they addressed, but did not recall the dud batch? Incidently, I ran a utility called [b]ScanChannelsBDA[/b] which would display signal strength/quality/lock with strange results. This utility when given a multiplex freq, say 754166 kHz, would continously display signal strength like this (from memory) Strength:0 Quality:95 Strength:0 Quality:90 Strength:0 Quality:95 Strength:0 Quality:95 Strength:32567887 Quality:0 Strength:32567887 Quality:0 Strength:32567887 Quality:0 Strength:32567887 Quality:0 The utility would then lock-up. It seems that randomly the Compro when asked to tune will lock-up. Has anyone who has this card and experienced this problem found a resolution? Its driving me crazy :shock: Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
