I don't know exactly. Maybe not only a driver problem. But for sure it a mixture of this and of UPC. QAM256 is really very difficult to handle. You need good cables, a excelent signal quality. If you have this, it is maybe not a big problem. But if you don't have it, the driver is not able to help. Some time ago I tried to boot an old linux version (with kernel 2.4.x) and the picture was really good again. Back on my machine the picture is unuseable. So I believe it is a driver problem at least. But maybe you have the time and knowledge to solve this? > > Unfortunately I am not able to find this problem and I was not able to > find > > someone, who could solve this (or help me). > I know that UPC does not transfer EPG and I also know > that they do something with mac-addresses UPC is transfering EPG, but noone found it till now.
