[QUOTE="infinite.loop, post: 471838, member: 10723"] Yesterday i received my WinTV-Ci. Sadly that crappy A1 version but.... well. When i used the drivers which were on the CD, then i encountered a lot of issues. Including an BSOD and several "windows resets" [I](when just entering configuration.exe or setuptv.exe)[/I]. Typical Hauppauge quality i would say. :P Then i installed the latest available drivers from [url=http://www.hauppauge.co.uk]Hauppauge Computer Works Ltd[/url]. And besides the glitch that in the WinTV-CI configuration tab it displays all my TV-Cards 3 times, it worked very well. I was able to tune dvb-s and dvb-s2 channels (Hauppauge Nova-S2-HD). Generally speaking it seems to work fine. But it would not dare to recommend someone to buy that thing. Better spend some more money on a decent card with integrated CI. Such as the floppy, or firedtv. Works out of the box. [B]Note:[/B] All testing was done on WinXP.
