[QUOTE="CAPTAIN_CESSNA, post: 1008445, member: 120588"] Morning, My TBS6981 gave in last week. I don't think mine suffered any temperature related issues, but I have read that they run warm. I'm against another one as I'd like to see what else is out there, I've had a BlackGold and thought it very poor. I've found a DVBSky S952, which apparently claims to have the latest 'Montage M88DS3103' chipset, and boasts LNB-off, blind scanning, 16APSK and 32APSK for less than another TBS6981. Those features are only quoted by TBS on their 'pro' cards at more than double the cost, so what's the catch? Poor drivers? Slow channel changes? I won't use any of the new features, but the new chipset does claim to be lower in power consumption, so my mentality is less power = cooler running. If anyone has one of these I'd love to know how it works with MePo and how it is with S3/Resume. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
