Bruce,

Hmmm not really sure mate - its sounds like you've done most of the things I'd try myself.

If you've access to another system you could try and use your card on it and see if it works. Otherwise if you can return easily to the retailer it might be worth that - as it does sound most likely that the card is faulty in some way.

I'm assuming that you're running legit MCE 2005 and have all the major updates etc applied.

This is why using imaging software is easy as you could have 'restored' back to a time when you KNOW the card was working fine........thus if it was still not working its clearly a hardware fault.

But I'd say there's still a fair chance its a software issue somewhere - but more likely hardware.

This can be VERY frustrating......I have been through myself.

Try and get in the habit of using an imaging program - there are free ones that work well....and paid ones that are better.

Good luck with the tuner....not sure if I can offer any more advice.

:-)
