channel 4 hd media centre

I've been having trouble tuning my 8920 dvb-s2 card into the recently available channel 4 HD in windows 7 media centre.
This is a common problem in 7mc, not just your card, but it seems until microsoft release a patch (if they ever will) then it is upto the hardware vendors to fix it.
I read good things about this company before buying my card, so I am hopeful you can sort it soon.
here are a couple of forum links to illustrate the problem. So far I have read that hauppage and blackgold have released driver updates/patches.

I look forward to a speedy reply. I will keep looking around the net for a fix, if I find one I'll update in this thread.

So, I emailed tbs, they did respond and say they are trying to look into it but I haven't heard anything for a while, though I do have a slight bit of progress.

I have a dual dvb-t card, and dvb-s card and a dvb-s2 card. I couldn't get wmc to pick up dvb-s2 channels since getting that card, last night I did a clean reinstall, leaving out the drivers for the dvb-s card.
I was able to scan a single transponder to get the hd dvb-s2 channels I wanted (bbc, itv and channel 4). I then installed the drivers for the dvb-s card, wmc asked me to do anther tv signal setup, and after I did it lost the s2 channels. I rescanned the single transponders but couldn't get it to pick up a signal again.
I've restored to a point before adding the drivers for the dvb-s card and am now rerunning the tv signal setup, but even if it works it will just wipe it again if I add the dvb-s card again.
Any ideas?
At least I know the card works, it's just a wierd bug within media centre (I've been posting on the windows experts / greenbutton too)
