[QUOTE="ilovellamafo, post: 225663, member: 65060"] My question is: Should I just return the card for a full refund and buy a supported card, or with enough tweaking can I get the HVR-1600 to work flawlessly? I have 30 days to return the card to Circuit City. It's about a 9 minute drive. I have a 3.2ghz machine that is dedicated to OTA ATSC so hardware encoding isn't necessary and I already have the Hauppauge remote from my old pvr-150, so I don't need the remote. Besides, I want a macro remote that will control TV,PC, and Receiver anyway. I recently purchased a hauppauge HVR-1600 from Circuit City and installed MP V0.2.3.0. Everything seems to work, however MP crashes after so many minutes of viewing or after changing the channel a few times. Could this be eliminated by using another card, or is this simply a problem I am going to run into with any ATSC tuner? I'm a new user to mediaportal, but I've already found it more ergonomic than SageTV and beyond TV and the awful Wintv that came with the hardware.
