Hello all,

I've searched the forums regarding this TV card but all the revelant posts are in German, and unfortunately i'm no good at german.

Basically the issue i'm having is that I can either view SD broadcasts in the UK, but then I get no picture on BBC HD. I then have to restart the PC and I can watch BBC HD and only get sound on SD channels. It's bugging me immensly at the moment.

Does anyone have any pointers, to do with driver/OS/or even MP. I don't think MP is the issue but wondered if anyone has experience of this and found a work around.

Many Thanks in advance

Dave

    No experience of this card in Win 7 but I had trouble with the 1.2 driver release and went back to 1.1 (shipped with the card).
    1.3 is out now I just noticed.

    Many Thanks. I'll try the 1.3 driver

    Hopefully this will help.

    Did the 1.1 drivers help with viewing in vista. If you have them could you supply the 1.1 drivers as I can't find it on the net or do you have the driver number of version 1.1, i know 1.2 is 1.1.1.302 or something like that.

    Cheers in advance.

    my tv server is running 32bit xp. The 1.1 drivers work fine with SD and HD channels. I'm at work at the moment but I'll see if I can post them later (feel free to remind me if I forget).
    Let me know if the 1.3 driver works for you.

    thanks for the update.
    Out of interest, did you have any problems with the previous driver release?
