One, DViCO produced a small batch of defective hardware that just happened to land in Melbourne. (Does it work under Windows?) Two, there is something very odd about Melbourne transmissions. The Australian government has a long history of "improving" international television standards. For example, most countries did not have channels 0, 5A and 13. Channel numbers below 7 have been discouraged for a many years now, but they recently moved one of the standard channels slightly to make room for and extra one - 9A, I think. But if the government was the cause of the problem then it should be Nation wide rather than Melbourne only. Three, the initial configuration file is sufficiently wrong that the DViCO can't cope with it. I have recently seen my Kworld card work well, while my MSI card refused channel 7 until some of the settings were adjusted. Unfortunately I don't know where to find authoritative information about what is "standard" here, or what is actually used. -- sig goes here...
