[QUOTE="ears, post: 1026734, member: 83203"] Me again! Quick update on this - I installed 4.6 WDM drivers and software and did get the card recognised again. In the server section of TV Setup I had to remove the old instance of the Mpeg 2 source card and restart the server before it would recognise the new instance. Unfortunately though, it's still delivering a massive number of discontinuities to MP. DVBViewer is now working fine and all other tuners (a Hauppauge PCI DVB-S2 card and a BlackGold 2xDVB-S2/2xDVB-T card) are working very well in MP. To be honest it's not a big deal, the SkyStar is plugged into a separate LNB, pointed at 19.2, that I just use when there's a Grand Prix on RTL that the BBC don't show. As it's not used regularly and not part of the core set of tuners I'm happy to leave it in DVBViewer and just watch it in there for 2 hours once a month. MP is now happily delivering everything from 28.2. If anyone does know where I could look to resolve this then please post, but I'm happy with how things are now. Thanks for all your help! [/QUOTE]
