Hi!

I have added a SkyStar2 PCI DVB-S Card to my HTPC.

So, I installed the SkyStar with the latest drivers from the Technisat HP.

I started the DVB Application and I tuned into a channel. Picture is fine but there is some background noise hearable. Even if there is NO sound from the TV channel (volume set to 0) there is some noise hearable.

If I close the DVB Application its good. The same applies to if I use MediaPortal als my HTPC Application when it enables the SS2 for TV. Even if I press the "mute" button the noise is hearable...

Any ideas whats wrong?

TIA! Thomas

Just a guess here.
Are you absolutely sure that the SS2 is firmly pressed down in to the PCI slot?
