Hi.

I have a strange instability with this board.

The receprion is perfect for 10~20 minutes, then some glitches (squares, arraneous colors... just like corrupted mpeg stream) appear, sound pops and within the 15 seconds the video stops.

Then no way to get the tuner back to life, it fails to switch stations. Sometimes after some unloading/reloading of modules it works from some more minutes, and often requires a full reboot.

This is almost exactly the symptoms I had with mine. I figured out that this card is somehow sensitive to heat, and the signal I was feeding it was quite marginal. The two things I did was stick a cooling fan next to the card which made things a little bit better, and install an amplifier which made it perfect. Haven't had a drop-out since I installed the amplifier.
