Mine didnt either, although I wasn't happy with it. So I ended up selling it. Then purchased the Twinhan card to test after another member said his was alright. Sure enough it certainly was. However these Twinhan cards like a good signal, otherwise it might not work so good. I only purchased a 2nd one as the first unit worked well enough, now both cards are working. Although due to the lack of tv coax loopback on the card itself, I had to purchase a $5.90 odd part from jaycar that splits my tv socket on wall into 2 more sockets, then ran 2 cables directly to each tuner in the machine. Just as well the room with my computer and other machines dont have a tv to also connect up with the antenna port. Otherwise I'd need to split it again. I convinced the wife that letting me build a dedicated frontend for another room when we move will be good. Atleast then I can use the frontend with a tv to watch some shows, rather then use my mac mini or the backend itself. I think I can live with the odd problem, certainly handy to have my shows record based on them coming up in the guide, rather then using my PVR to say record X channel at Y time each week. And hope the show dont swap days or time before I get a chance to watch the previous weeks.
