That makes sense. I can't remember when the last disconnect happened, but I think there was also on a bad weather condition. Right now my system is working like a charm with the Nova-T 500. However, some people (including me) reports more freqüent disconnects when EIT scanning is enabled in MythTV. My solution to this was to write a Python script that allos me to externally enable / disable EIT scanning for all the channels on the database. I use this script to enable EIT scanning only from 9:00 to 12:00 everyday (I have set up a daily wakeup period for this in MythTV) and leave it disabled otherwise. This way the EIT scanning is active only on a time period when I'm mostly not at home (thus not using the computer) and disabled for the rest of the day, thus preventing problems between EIT scanning and recording / LiveTV. If anyone is interested in the script just let me know (it's pretty simple, thought). Best regards, Eduard
