Interesting. These are exactly the symptoms I get with my DVB-T card. OSD still works as well in this state...
FYI, my card has deteriorated rapidly. It now fails after 1-2 channel changes, and now even dies without changing channel (I watched for about 3 mins and it died spontaneously mid stream. I think heat must be an issue (although I have the side of the case removed, I have no fan over the card at the moment) - I suspect that some components have got damaged by the heat anyway (just a guess) I've got a budget card on order, but assuming I fail to get Hauppauge to help me out with this (likely), would any of the developers be interested in aquiring this card on a long term loan for testing, etc?
