Skystar2 PCI DVB-S card problems

[BigMoose]

I have one of these and its always been a little temperamental and after tuning some frequencies would produce a half green recording when tuning to another frequency. By that I mean half the screen is green and you can see bits of the rest of the screen in freeze frame. I've never sussed out tuning which channels would cause this as it didn't happen so often. However on a clean install (win764 pro like the previous install) with the latest technisat drivers it does this after every tune. So I can record / watch one prog and the next retune it'll produce green/useless results. Only way of clearing it that I know of is a reboot.

It is the first card defined in GBPVR and nPVR plus a HVR-4000 (which never goes wrong). GBPVR picks the skystar for recording and the HVR-4000 for LiveTV. I believe nPVR picks the last defined card (the HVR-4000) for both. Is it possible to swap the order in GBPVR without having to delete the config and do a rescan? as I think I'll cry if I have to rescan and re setup the EPG in GBPVR.

Anyone happen to have a skystar2 running in win764 with more useful drivers? I'll try finding older versions of the driver as it never used to be as useless as it is now. Ideally I'll sling it out for a new card, but dont have the spare cash at the mo...

You can highlight a source & then click on one of the blank buttons (to the right) to move it up & down the list from memory.

Thanks for the tip. In the end I've solved the problem by trying an older driver. The 4.6.0 one that's on the technisat website is crap. Found a copy of 4.5.1 somewhere and it works fine. I can tune more than one time without it going wrong and have managed to record a good few things this ev that have all worked.
