Terratec Cinergy 2400 DVB-T card (1 Viewer)

I have this card also, using only with MP. I'm using powerscheduler all the time mostly with S4 and no problems.

My only problem, but not sure it's the card, is that some channels/radios are not found despite having them on my DTT TV (UKTV History doesn't work with TV Engine 0.2, and doesn't even appear in the list with TV Engine 0.3, BBC Radio 1 is never found too...)

I have a similar issue with Radio 5 not being picked up. The TV is all good though.

Out of interest, given that the remote is naff according to SoylentCola, could the IR receiver be used and controlled by WinLirc?

I've just had to send 4 terratec cards back, they were all 2400i's and they were preventing my system from booting,
I originally had the system running fine, then I installed the cards and it just wouldnt boot, it just threw up a memory error, I tried an ubuntu boot CD too with the cards and it just showed an error on the PCI interfces somewhere (unspecified error). A short chat with terratec and they told me that there are known issues with the early production run of cards, if the main chip on the card ends in B1 then it can cause crashes with certain motherboards that have an intel chipset, the B2 series seem fine and dont have the issue, sadly there is no external identifier on the box whether you are buying a B1 or a B2 chipset equipped card.

The fault can also manifest itself by system hangups or spurious errors on the PCI so if you have a terratec 2400 and it's behaving oddly then have a look if you've got a B1.

Ive used this card for about a year and it seems pretty solid. Ive no problems with s3 mode and channel changing is quite quick.

Only issue I have is that it doesnt get the epg over the air, apart from that Im very happy with the purchase.

EDIT

**My issue with the epg has gone and I can report that epg throught the dvb-t stream has been working fine for 2 weeks.
