Got my Siemens DVB-C card few days before Turku Cable switched to QAM 128
from QAM 64. Everything seemed to be ok after that, but after I watched
-C channels for awhile I noticed that the reception had LOTS more errors.
Picture quality before that was excellent.

Shortly after this I got my barebone PC and reinstalled everything, to
latest and greatest at the same time. After that my Siemens card has been
unusable. Yesterday managed to get it to work for few minutes with older
driver, but after few minutes, it looses it.

Can't really test anything but QAM 128 and frequencies 154M and 162M,
anything else above those are encrypted.
