[..] > any opionions/comment? First, you are running femon while having your adapter used by some software, right (e. g. czap, ..) ? If I run femon without an app. using the card, I get that signal 'ffff'. That said, I also had this kind of problems with some channels at some hours of the day. The transponders around 300 MHz would always work fine but the ones over 500 MHz only between 21h - 08h. I could get the latter almost working all day by plugging the dvb-c card directly to the wall outlet with a short cable. So I guessed the signal strength was not high enough for my card on the higher frequencies. I bought an antenna amplifier and that solved my problem. Christian
