I have had lots of problems with using IDE devices like my DVD drives, and USB, after installing a SATA hard drive. Fortunately, I haven't had any problem with DVB on this motherboard. I changed motherboards because of the problem. (When I changed the mobo, in Linux (Kubuntu) I only had to set the volume and change the device ID around of the two DVB cards - imagine changing your motherboard with Windows.) It looks like the first S-ATA motherboards had pretty sketchy support for S-ATA. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
