[QUOTE="TelaKeppi, post: 626512, member: 73891"] Sorry to dig up this old thread, but i finally fixed part of the problem and thought to give a heads up. After replacing the nvidia card with radeon hd series, the issue remained. At this point, i was willing to give up and installed Linux to rule out the FloppyDTV. Well turned out everytime i got it installed and rebooted, it kernelpanicked during the boot. So, something was definately wrong. Long story short, i traced it to the Firewire card, everytime i manually loaded the firewire card driver, the system locked up. Yesterday i got new Firewire card based on Texas Instrument chips (the old was using VIA chip) with external power from molex. BER rate went down from 2000 to 0-20, which is the same my neighbor gets. SD channels tune now most of the time with 100/100 signal strenght/quality. HD channels needed to set the tune delay from 2s to 4s to get stable enough signal for channel tune. Chance of scrambled channel tune is still there, but it's propably a unfixable issue with the FloppyDTV. [/QUOTE]
