[QUOTE="Mars Warrior, post: 796340, member: 10351"] After two days of testing I come to the conclusion that one of the S470 cards is flaky and that MP is a bit more sensitive / strict with cards that misbehave (a bit) than DVBViewer is. In other words: MP seems to work with the second tuner and although DVBViewer works with both, the first tuner shows much longer channel switch delays if diseqc must be used to switch to another sat... I did switch the cables from the dish to make sure that it isn't the dish itself that is causing problems, but again the first card showed problems, where the second card worked! It seems though that not all FTA channels work (red cross in mini EPG Guide?!?!?!), but that's something I will check this week. Encrypted channels didn't work at first until I discovered that I haven't watched sat tv for a long time and I had to reactivate the card because both management and provider entitlements where expired... For now, I will use the first card only for the first sat, and the second for all 4 and look for a new second card since I think I don't have any guarantee anymore. Since I need low profile, there is not much choice. First candidates would be a S470 or the S480. Some German shops do seem to sell the S480 for just a little more than the S470, where others double the price of the S470... Furthermore I will check the FTA channels for possible problems after I've done a full scan to make sure it isn't a relic from scanning with the flaky card. :thx: mm for your time & tips for testing. It does seem that even a baffled developer is always right! [/QUOTE]
