I have found that there is TERRIBLE quaility control on these things, often just replacing the card with another fixes it. If you not in a fringe reception area, I would consider returning it for a replacement if possible. I found the hauppauge to be more reliable than the STB, but I think the issue might be philips being better than temic. but these are just gut feelings from feedback of users when I was coding/debugging the tuner code. I know the STB I bought had a crappy tuner, but the hauppauge I replaced it with works flawlessly. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD
