Ah. I can see why that might be a bad thing. What's the recommended method for upgrading the firmware after a power cycle then? Or is your advice to stick with whatever firmware is installed by default? (My card comes up with rev 26 from cold by the looks of it.) > A last hint.

I'll check that out. If I may return to a comment in one of your earlier emails, you wrote: > The tda10046 does not correct for frequently reported offsets of > 167000Hz, which seem to be mostly negative in the UK.

Is this likely to be the reason that the DVB-T200 card gives dvbscan errors like: >>> tune to: 802166670:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_1_2:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!>>> tune to: 802166670:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_1_2:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE (tuning failed) WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!retrying with f=530000000 >>> tune to: 530000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_1_2:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE (tuning failed) WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!>>> tune to: 530000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_1_2:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE (tuning failed) WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!retrying with f=634166670 where the Hauppauge card finds more channels?
