Hi Soeren, good to know, it was you then. You did spend at least a lot of time on it and seriously tried to track it down. Unfortunately we still know exactly nothing, could be something BIOS/PSU/hardware, saa7134 driver, tuner code, even the IRQ remote. Or some nice combination of it. As said, nothing is perfect, and I never did exclude a potential driver bug, some are hard to get, but to blame it all to the card manufacturer is most likely very, very wrong.
