Peer, glad you got to the root of the problem. Fried lnb's should be a pretty cheap replacement. :) Luca, I was referring to doing some homework on the mainboards before you buy. Read reviews, has the product held it's market value well?, are you seeing a lot of them for sale used. All these things point to whether it's a jewel or junk. And of course stay away from mainboard manufacturers who have a known history of putting out subpar products. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
