[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1154913, member: 141969"] I have two TBS 6284 quad-tuner DVB-T2 cards. One modification that I made to both was to remove the "TBS" sticky label stuck over each of the four dual-tuner boxes. This exposed ventilation holes in the tuner box. Since my HTPC tower case was designed to the unloved BTX standard, the cards sit with the tuner boxes (and hence ventilation holes) [i]on the upper surface of the card[/i], allowing the hot air to escape. :) For your satellite card: (1) Removing the sticky label will nullify the guarantee. :( (2) The tuner box may not have ventilation holes. :( (3) Your case may position the card so as to prevent the escape of the hot air from the tuner box. :( -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
