My "Production" VDR with two FF cards has far better signals (according to Femon) and no BER at all. I moved one of the FF cards to this box to check that all is really OK, cabling etc. With the FF I then got no BER, and the kind of STR and SNR values I am used to. As it happens the test machine is about 2M cable away from my multiswitch, the production box is about 10M away. The test box is a Kernel 2.6 with the supplied DVB drivers, the production box is 2.4 with DVB drivers from the middle of last year. For me the values shown by Femon are very driver dependent. Either that or my Budget card is broken, but running it under windows show normal signal values so I dont think so. Cheers Brian
