[vdr] Re: Failing DVB-s card (any experience?)

[Benjamin Harling <benjamin.harling@web.de>]

Hi Klaus,

yes there is a DECT-phone in the house but it was ever since. The 
antenna cable is definitley ok - I checked in two rooms and anlalog 
reception is fine.

I moved the whole thing to my working room for analysis and the problem 
persists.

As a last resort I soldered the SCART-connector for J2 and the picture 
is still as bad. Different but unusable anyway.

Tomorrow I try to talk to a technician at Hauppauge. Let's see. I now 
believe that Andreas Gebel was right with his suggestion that I somehow 
killed an important part on the card by disconnecting the TV while the 
system was running.

Thanks for your help. You are really eager in this list. I appreciate 
this.

Bye, Benjamin
