[QUOTE="Deusxmachina, post: 175983, member: 55167"] On my other computer that the card worked on, I had run the Technisat viewing software and I think setup4pc with it. I never got the tv to actually work with that software, but Beyond TV, GVPVR, and MP all detected the card. Beyond TV then auto-detected the channels, but that was the only one of the three with an EPG. MP worked after changing the Skystar entry to ATSC and then it could channel scan. I did have the BDA drivers on the current computer. I now ran the Technisat viewer software and setup4pc, and it found some channels. (I hadn't run it since I thought it was only the viewer program which never worked on the other computer.) It then gives a WinLirc failed to initialize error when bringing up the viewer, and so the TV doesn't work. I never got that error on my other computer, I just simply couldn't get a picture for whatever reason. Media Portal now does detect the card in setup as a Skystar 2 DVB-S, and it autoscanned and found some (ATSC) channels. Going to MyTV, it first gave I think a "can't connect to mpg2 pin" error. I then changed the two Technisat entires in the .xml card file to ATSC like I did before, and now it gives a "failed to start. can't connect to ac3 pin" error. So it looks like things are now on the right track, and I have to mess around with graphedit to get the pins right. I hope that's all there is. Pretty frustrating to have the card mostly auto-work in one computer but now barely get detected in a different computer. It's still odd that GBPVR and Beyond TV won't detect it at all and say there's no tuner present. At least now there's some hope. I asked a Network Administrator about the card basically acting as an ethernet device, (the firewall shows the card having a separate ip address), and so far all he said is, "That's really weird."
