The latter part sounds familiar from femon and gnutv. > I think Brian might have a bad cable or connector or splitter in the run feeding the hvr1600. The same 4-way splitter fed the HVR-950Q and the HVR-1600 and cables were swapped just about every way they could be to try to get the HVR-1600's SNR up. But as I mentioned before, it's now completely non-functional due to the coax connector on the card having become loose enough to turn (with some effort, so screwing an female F-connector on/off was still quite doable). Perhaps it was marginal before due to that same problem. I guess I will never know... unless I try cracking this thing open and reconnecting whatever has gotten disconnected -- if Hauppage won't RMA it for me. They seem to be pretty silent about that now though after an initial e-mail exchange. If not, I've got my eye on a KWorld UB435-Q if I can determine that it's a hardware rev. 1 unit somehow since the store doesn't want to take it out of the box to check for me. It's less than half the price of an HVR-950Q at $40, as much as I would love to stay loyal with Hauppage -- this coax connector on my HVR-1600 coming loose, aside. Cheers, b.
