[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1188194, member: 141969"] I see from the Asus specs that the motherboard is socket 1155, supporting second and third generation Intel i3/i5/i7 processors. The current Intel processors are sixth generation, using socket 1151. So I conclude that your motherboard is older rather than newer, and hence not under warranty any more, and possibly not supported by the manufacturer any more. So getting a BIOS update for a non-working PCI-Express tuner card may be a non-starter. :( MM explained above that the current TBS quad-tuner card (the 6205) uses a different interface chip, and so [b]may[/b] be immune to the "wake from sleep" problem. If it were me, I would probably give it a try (but they are not cheap). TBS also manufacture dual- and single-tuner cards, but do they use the new interface chip? I don't know. However, if you can stretch to the quad-tuner card, I would suggest buying that. Remember that in a few short years, the DVB-T transmitters in the UK will all be converted to DVB-T2, resulting in more than the two DVB-T2 MUXes that we have at present. TBS also manufacture a USB DVB-T2 dual-tuner unit, the TBS 5280. Unlike the one suggested by Owlsroost, the TBS one is a separate unit that stands vertically (good for cooling by convection). You use a separate USB cable to connect it to the HTPC (I don't know whether that changes your opinion about USB tuners). Here it is on Amazon (the retailer is in France): [URL]https://www.amazon.co.uk/TBS5280-DVB-T2-Freeview-channels-Channel/dp/B008EFHUFQ[/URL] What you really want is a post from someone who has exactly your motherboard, and uses the XYZ tuners without problem, including wake from sleep. You might be in for a long wait. :( -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
