[QUOTE="globaldonkey, post: 308064, member: 49844"] Yes, I actually just purchased one of the new DNTV cards (because I was mucking and broke the centre pin on the coax connector on my original DNTV card), and it is running fine under MP 1.0 RC2. I did have some TV Server database corruption issues when I installed though, but that's because I removed the original DNTV card a couple of months ago, put my old Divico card back in as a stop gap measure (which again caused nothing but problems even with the latest drivers), then pulled that out and put the new DNTV card in when it finally arrived. MP doesn't really handle card removal all that well as far as I can see. Leaves a few loose ends in the database, and maybe I didn't follow the right procedure for removing the cards. By this time, I had to blow my TV Server database away because things were really screwed up, and I could not configure the new card (even though it was detected), but once I did that, all was good and have not looked back again.
