[QUOTE="datfreak, post: 996680, member: 19079"] thanks yrehan - I changed to the softperfect one and so far so good. A lil update, I've ditched the 2 X twin dvb-t usb dongles and now have a single DigitalNow pci-e Quad dvb-t card. See specs / pics at website at: [url]http://digitalnow.com.au/product_pages/Quad.html[/url] I have had a few Digitalnow tuner products previously (tinytwin,quad dvb-t/s,s3,s2) and have had some failures but overall quality has been quite good. Email from tech support either comes late or not at all :( which is a shame because their products have a lot of potential. Anyway, plugged the card in the skinny pci-e X1 slot(after putting on the high bracket), installed the driver from the website - and presto - 4 tuners on tv server. Inital testing seems very good, channel changing is quite snappy(better then prev usb sticks). I'll report back here after testing for a few days - ill be interested to see how it goes after standby/resume cycling etc and multi transponder recording. I like the cleaness of having only 1 antenna input for 4 tuners, no more wiring mess. It comes with a MCE style remote and plug in receiver - I have not tested the combo but it seems the remote itself is NOT compatible with my existing Microsoft MCE receiver. EDIT: Also just noticed that this card has DAB+ , when/if MP tvserver has support this will be a cool bonus. After a few days testing the Quad card, im still very happy. I had 1 instance when after standby it appeared as "only" 2 tuners in tvserver - I set a 5 second delay after resume before detecting cards and the problem has not returned as yet. [/QUOTE]
