[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1288195, member: 141969"] I have had occasional problems with my TBS 6284 in the past, although not recently. Windows would abend with the blue screen and an error code of IRQ_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL (or something like that). Using the "BlueScreenView" tool showed that the abend occurred in the TBS driver. The 6284 is renowned for using PCI-Express standard version 1.1. The problem with this is that motherboard manufacturers supported versions 1.0 and 2.0 of the PCI-Express standard, but many of them forgot to add support for version 1.1 (or could not be bothered). So the tuner cards mostly work, but there are some electrical signalling scenarios where the 6284 (and probably the 6280) do not work correctly. :( Since the 6284, there have been two newer generations -- first the 6285, and then the current 6205 (all quad-tuner cards). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
