Since Media portal has gone digital it thought it is time for me to do the same.
Does anyone have suggestions on a good DVB-C card with card reader and hardware decoding?

Check the Twinhan site, they have a pci version that comes with a card reader. I was looking at dvb-t but I think they had one for dvb-c to.

I don't know if they have any BDA drivers for it though.

Thanks for the tip! It looks like a good, affordable card. But after googling around a bit i found several users that had trouble getting the card to work. No one seemed to get the card reader to work and it had trouble finding channels without really strong signals.
Swedish users can check out these links:

The good thing is that the bda drivers work with the card.

4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

Perhaps... Only way to confirm would be for me to invest in a different USB DVB-S2 tuner (like the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-S2), which I might do if the issue persists.
