Hi mate. I've been running W7 x64 for the past couple of days, and it's working fine with my 2 Floppydtv's. Initially I installed the original W7 drivers (think they were labelled 5.5, but not sure) and it only picked up 3 channels despite taking ages to scan. I then installed the 5.4 drivers (from Vista+TV Pack) and it managed to find all my channels on that scan. Next day, D-E released the 5.6 drivers, so I switched to them and it's happy as anything running and changing channel - although I haven't tried re-scanning since.

Dumass question first - did you do anything with your CAMs or cards at the same time? I didn't touch mine and it unscrambled the channels as soon as I was able to scan for them. Just wondering if you made any changes whether it needs time to pick up the right keys, or even if AU maybe isn't working under W7?

Just for comparison, I'm running 2xFloppyDTV C/CI's, 1x TT C1501 (to get the DVB-C guide), 2x Blue Zeta CAMs running Joker 0.80, 2x Funcard 4's with the Nov AU flash files. Beyond that it's just a Gigabyte GA-M78GN-S2H with a AMD 4850e, 4Gb RAM and 7.1 sound and video out of the onboard stuff.

before today ive been running vista media centre successfully for the past 6 months, having installed windows 7 i cant seem to get anything. have the keys rolled recently? i havent touch my cam or card for months

looks like ill have to dig my card programmer and check the dates and keys.

i havent really seen much improvement between the two operating systems only cosmestics, what does anyone else make of it?

I'm a plank! Just remembered one other thing I had to do. In the instructions from D-E they said to change the built in Firewire drivers to the (Legacy) drivers in Device Manager or else Floppy's won't work. Have you changed that over dude?

i saw this when i downloaded the drivers, i presumed since the floppydtv is detected and scans for channels it was all working.

ill have a look at changing the drivers andc see if it makes a difference.
