[QUOTE="batsi, post: 1183823, member: 75463"] Hi, just wanted to give an updated status: I had email contact with both the TV card manufacturer TechnoTrend and the mainboard manufacturer Asus. They both confirmed that there are known problems with PCI TV cards on Intel Skylake systems. According to Asus those systems do not support PCI natively anymore, and this can cause such problems. Funny thing is that my very old MyCinema-P7131 (DVB-T) works without problems, but the newer TT S2-1600 (DVB-S) causes that block noise even with SD resolution. But maybe DVB-S has a slightly higher bandwidth than DVB-T, and that is just too much for that "not natively connected" PCI bus. Now I'm a bit annoyed that I've decided for Skylake and didn't chose an older Broadwell chipset, but I will probably go for a new PCIe DVB-S card. At the moment I'm quite into getting a Digital Devices card. Although they're a bit more expensive, they even promote them to be compatible with MP, and I'd like to get a dual tuner card.
