I need some help / info regarding running a DVBS2 card on a mobo that has legacy pci interface.
I decided that it was about time and went ahead with my TV Server hardware upgrade. I am running my TV Server in a small mini itx tower and got my dvbs2 and 4 disks connected to it. Everything was working fine on my old MSI industrial mobo that i now found out has Native PCI support. But i have to replace it cause it supports up to max 2GB ram which as u can understand is not enough for any modern OS.
So i went ahead and got a GA-N3150N-D3V which supports 8GB of ram, 4 sata ports, 2 lan ports and has a pci interface. I finally founda replacement that fits my needs. Or i thought so... after a fresh windows installation i went ahead to see how fast is channel switching with this mobo, i found out that TV is not working as expected, picture is heavily pixelated and sound is clicking, even radio channels are not working properly. I started searching why, cause the signal indicator is showing full strengh and normal quality.
Well it seems that my new mobo doesnt have a native PCI interface, instead it is using a PCI to PCIe bridge chip since Intel dropped Native PCI support a long time ago.....
My question to u guys, anyone else had a similar issue in the past and if yes what u did to over come it? I could RMA the mobo but i am afraid that getting a replacement wont improve the situation.
Thanx in advance.
