[QUOTE="hassegubben, post: 653773, member: 27167"] I tried everything I could think of. Sadly the tuner never stopped freezing. I am not surprised the CI is the guilty part. Either that or the EPG grabbing, which caused MP to crash. Turning off the EPG grabbing stopped the crashing. But the freezing remained. I moved the tuner to a separate PC and started using Terratec HomeCinema. What a waste of time. The driver froze the PC as soon as the signal was not perfect. And Powercinema caused tons of hangs as well. After hundreds of powercycles of the tuner and equally many restarts of the PC, I have now sent a message to Dustin that I want to have the product switched. The software and drivers are not mature. I even contacted Terratec support. They told med to change USB drivers, which I did, but the problems remained. No more Terratec for me. Now that FloppyDTV has started selling again I will immediately order a couple of those tuners. :) [/QUOTE]
