Hi
i took my some time to test my card on a 32bit system, but finally i
found someone who also has a dvb-s connection. And yes, the card works
flawlessly on Athlon XP, Windows2000, Hauppauge Drivers.
So we can go on with debugging ;)

Just tell me what you need to know and i'll gather the information

greetings
