If you have the SS2 vista driver installed, then you need to right click on the viewer icon and select 'run as administrator'

This works with Altdvb and Progdvb.

I had the same trouble. Vista insisted on installing the wrong drivers. You need to download the latest driver from Technisat which is said to be Vista compatible. You must also uninstall all existing SS2 drivers and make sure they are deleted from your pc otherwise Vista installs them again as soon as you boot. Vista then tells you the drivers dont work.

Lancelot normally has a fairly up-to-date TP list which you could reformat if required.

That would be good , Can the SS2 do a blind scan at all?.
