Your last summary said you had a high BER even the 115 is the only card in the system. That would lead me to believe that it's always screwed up. > I tried separating the cards as far as possible.

Different cards interfere with each other in different ways (based on things such as the PCB layout). The fact that the HDTV5 doesn't have issues doesn't really mean *anything*. Same goes for the fact that it's BER indicator is always zero. That could just as easily indicate that the BER checking is properly implemented for that particular demod. Anyway, I don't have the card and all my suggestions were very general. If you can't find a developer with the card willing to debug the issue then you're probably SOL. Devin -- Devin J.
