Also, there is no need to unplug the PC power from the wall and press the power button etc to recover, you just need to leave the machine powered down for a short while. Sounds a lot like the issues I have read about where the firmware remains in the tuner card but is corrupt or something. The only way is to clear the firmware and re-upload it, generally by powering down for sometime but I am hoping that you can do this by unloading then loading the modules. Is this possible? Anyone know which modules in this instance?
