Do you have the power connector on the card connected? If you have a spare PCIe power connector on your PSU you can use that, or else use the supplied PCIe - Molex connector instead. The card needs a solid 12V supply to power the LNB's, and especially during scanning when it's continually switching ...

HOORAY (well almost)! The latest catalyst drivers, version 12.4, have solved this problem ... BUT, they have introduced a new problem whereby the HDMI driver is disabled when the TV is powered off! However, there are reports that the beta for 12.6 (don't know what happened to 12.5) has solved this p...

I will do that certainly.

I have already tried that and it makes no difference. It appears to be something to do with the ATI Catalyst drivers, and some people have had success with DOWNgrading their drivers to a much older version. Anyway, I'm not looking here for a solution as I'm not likely to get one here, just informing...

It's H.264 just like all the other channels that do work (albeit with the slight startup glitch I mentioned).

For what it's worth, I have the same problem with a number of different TV clients and codecs. Other people on the internet seem to have the same problem, but it seems to be limited to those with AMD/ATI Radeon graphics cards, including the built-in GPU in the AMD E350. Other HD (i.e. h264) channels...

Well stopped it crashing, dropped the 250w psu for a 500w. Seems the power draw from the card is quite hungry. I saw the same thing as well. I suspect it's not the absolute power draw, but small surges when the LNB's are powered up which temporarily causes a glitch on the 12V supply and a slight dr...

Hi bob, I installed my new 150W power supply today and it now works 100% ! I don't really understand the reason why this makes so much difference, but it solved the problem anyway, and that is what is important. It does seem to get a bit warmer than my old Tevii card, but tunes a lot quicker which i...

Hi, I just bought a TBS6981 as a replacement for a Tevii S480 based on the many positive reviews on the net. The Tevii card is basically two USB tuners on the same card with some cobbled together USB bridge, and didn't come out of standby quickly enough, so I thought a 'proper' PCIe card like the TB...
