[QUOTE="mpadam, post: 893669, member: 89459"] Just to give you all an update on how the story in my original post ended.... At a certain point my HTPC died. I could not determine the cause (later I got other problems that suggest it was all an intermittent short circuit in the front panel power switch, but anyway...), and I wanted to change quite a few things anyway (like upgrade from a very old MP version and also from XP to Win 7), so I went over to a new motherboard / CPU (also lower power than my old system) and swtiched over to Digitenne. Actually I later found out that there is an even cheaper way to get DVB-T in the Netherlands via EDPNet, but that's something I will do in a year after the Digitenne contract has expired. See - [url]http://www.edpnet.nl/thuis/digitale-televisie[/url] The new motherboard has firewire built in, so I bought two second hand Digital Anywhere FloppyDTV cards (as there seems to be lots of MediaPortal support for these cards) and so far it seems to more or less work. I am using them alongside the AverMedia Volar Black that I used before. So far I would say with one FloppyDTV it is rock solid. With two FloppyDTVs the jury is still out - yes I have of course the legacy firewire driver in place and the latest firmware updates - but still I would say that sometimes wierd stuff happens when both are required.
