You have bootet no windows with this card inserted? So we can say it has nothing to do at all with windows? Then, have you this card longer unused laying around (like in my case 2 years)? If yes, probably there is some mechanism that on driver installation (on windows) it runs not with the correct id ... would this make sense? I can remember some rumours that the driver with this cards writes something to the eeprom of this card ... something like following: http://www.dvbviewer.com/de/index.php?page=manual&chapter=h&sub=h3 Unter Umständen kann Ihre DVB-Karte auch für den Fernseh- und Radioempfang nachhaltig blockiert („gelockt“) worden sein – unglücklicherweise ist in dem B2C2-Chip der Karte eine solche Funktion vorgesehen, die sich nicht so einfach rückgängig machen lässt. Dies tritt insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit Software von EON (Europe Online) auf, in seltenen Fällen jedoch auch aus anderen, nicht genau bekannten Gründen. http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb?f=d0e826dedcb1;file=linux/drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/flexcop-eeprom.c;style=gitweb 30 31 /* These functions could be used to unlock SkyStar2 cards. */ 32 33 static int eeprom_writeKey(struct adapter *adapter, u8 *key, u32 len) http://www.dvbportal.de/files/eonlock.chm But this is only speculation.
