Ok, the newer one of the two I have. It seems to be the one
everybody I have talked to is using, and me too at the moment.

www.technotrend.de has 2.15 since 17 Apr 2003. :-) (It has the
same sc_main as you already have.)
www.hauppauge.de or ..uk has software too, they are often different,
it is a good idea to check both.

Ok, sounds a little different than my problems then. For me it seems
to happen more often if I repeatedly retune fast, maybe with a
second or two between the retunes. At the moment I can't make it
happen either.

I have also tried different slots with no change. I have a dell
tower with a single 600MHz P3 and intel 82820 chipset (and a
12V fan connector on the main board than can not be used without
the DVB-T tuner going crazy. :-)
