Freezing issue

[gr4z]

Hi
My 6981 is constantly freezing my MCE box when stopping a recording. I assume this is down lack of power for the card? The power adapter shipped with the card has 3 inputs. Are all of these needed? I don't have 3 power connectors available only 1 as the others are all in use!! Why so many?
Thanks

Hi gr4z
do you have transedit?and if you have would you mind have a test ,if transedit have miss pack too,maybe the signal is not very well,
and if it have not miss pack,maybe have some wrong with MCE.
Thanks

My previous card was fine - it was a Pinnacle. That picked up everything in HD on MCE.
It seems the drivers are not very good for DVB-S2 for the UK. Everytime I playback a recording or TV from a HD feed and press STOP my MCE box hangs.

I still am getting random freezing problems. My PSU is rated at 430W is this enough?

If not I will be sending my card back to Amazon for a refund as I am not prepared to upgrade other components just to get a video card working. My previous Pinnacle worked fine but only does DVB-S not S2.

Hi gr4z
I want to know ,do you have miss pack on other player, beside MCE,
do you have used DVBDream to have a test ?
Thanks

Dvbdream is not freeware. Can you suggest another free program to test the card with?

*EDIT* I have now rebuilt my MCE box from scratch. Using a DVB-S2 feed I can watch the channel but after about 20 mins if I press STOP the system hangs. Every time.

This is a hardware or software issue with your card as this has never happened before with all my previous DVB-T and DVB-S cards.
