The Ku problem is stranger.  I tried changing the switch frequency to 11000 as you suggested and it didn't help; I got the same errors.  It's not that the card is incapable of controlling a 22 kHz tone switch - if I use the TBS BlindScan program it finds the transponders on that satellite with no problem:[ATTACH=full]152504[/ATTACH]And as I mentioned, MediaPortal's 22 kHz switch control worked fine with the Prof 7301, so I'm not sure why it's not controlling the TBS card.  Does it seem like this is a problem that might be fixed, or do you think that it is something I will just have to live with for now?</blockquote>
