[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1098402, member: 82144"] Understood. :) The thing that had me confused was this: I now take that to mean it uses the same dish and LNB, but different output feeds from the LNB. The other thing that is a little confusing is this: If you have a TBS 6980/1/2 (ie. a card with two tuners) then you need to feed it with two connections from your LNB, otherwise only one tuner will work. Adding the Cinergy requires a third feed from the LNB. You also need to make sure you've connected power to the cards. The Cinergy needs the old style 4 pin molex connector whereas the 6981 needs the new style 6 pin PCIe power connector. When I look at the logs from your scanning I have the general impression that your tuners have problems receiving from high frequency transponders. Some of these transponders are not locked at all; some are locked with extremely low signal quality (eg. < 30%). When you try to tune channels from those transponders there are [I]many[/I] continuity errors in the TsWriter log. This implies signal corruption, and would result in the stuttering etc. that you reported. The cause might be a cabling, LNB skew (ie. twist angle), dish alignment, tuner, tuner/LNB power or tuner/LNB heat problem. Hard to know for sure. Earlier in the log files the signal quality seems to be considerably higher (70+ in most cases). This makes me wonder if something you did when you added/connected the Cinergy has caused problems for the TBS card or even the dish or LNB. This is not normal. As above: make sure you've connected the power and two feeds from the satellite dish to the card. [/QUOTE]
