Ah yes, good point.

Well, I'm glad it appears to be working. I hate problems that just go away on their own - I'm forever waiting for them to just come back again

lol yep didn't have to wait long. Problem back again. Think a trip to b and q is in order for some decent co-ax with no joins.

This is getting my back right up now. I have just done 3 scans of 19E and got totally different results each time beginning to wonder if the card is faulty. Went from 65 channels found to 549 now back down to 234.

Fixed again. Uninstalled the card then took it out cleaned the connections up and reinstalled all working fine now. Scanned 3 or 4 times on both satellites and got the same results each time. Think the easiest way now is to leave it connected and if I want to watch premiere on the PC make sure the TM is on Astra.

Thanks for the help and advice

Cool.

Also it could be that your computer is struggling to supply enough power. Maybe the power supply isn't performing as it once did, or maybe you've added some extra hardware recently.

You could also try the card in a different slot.

Hopefully it'll just work now

lol no such luck. Gone again as you say though it could be the power supply. Gonna try it in another slot later today after a kip and unplug all the usb stuff hanging off the computer. Hopefully will have it sorted over the weekend

or it will be in the bin.
