Dear TBS support: problems with TBS 6981 not tuning during channel change is still there. I am now up to driver V2.0.1.5 and problems are still as I have described in my first post. I had given up on this thinking that this is possibly due to the weak signal on my satellite cable as you have suggest...

Hi Steven, I can't do anything about the dish since it is not my own dish. I live in a building where they have the dish at the top of the building and distribute the signal to 100+ apartments. However, I do not understand why the signal strength should be a problem while I can watch a channel for h...

My TBS 6981 will go into a "I don't want to tune any more" mode while changing the channels. This mostly happens when the old and new channels are different in some way (S1-S2 etc) and usually when they are on different transponders. The signal strength/quality indicators at the bottom of ...

Blue screens are random and do come during scans (usually lengthy scans) and also while tuning or changing channels. So far it has been reported on 3 different Gigabyte MBs.

Hi Steven, I am now on vacation and do not have access to either of the two machines that had problems with this card. So I am afraid I can't try your hotfix until the end of August and you will need to work with others who are having the same problem. I am surprised though, it was missed that the p...

The two motherboards that got the blue screens are: GIGABYTE GA-880GMA-UD2H and GA-MA785GM-US2H

I also tried my new TBS 6981 card on the same machine which gave me blue screens with TBS 8921 before and it works without any problem. The fact that the blue screen has been observed with two different cards on three different machines with both 32 & 64 bit versions of W7 confirms that the prob...

What I meant in my previous post is that "one may want to scan two or more satellites in a row". "Transponder" was an incorrect choice of word.

It is not unusual that one wants to scan two or more transponders in a row. However, the bluescreen seems to be random and sometimes it comes in the first scan. I have tried 8921 driver v1.0.0.4 on another W7 machine. In fact it was a 32 bit version, not 64 as I first thought. It had different hardw...

Thanks for the suggestions Steven. Did you mean you have done tests on W7 64 and were not able to reproduce the blue screen? Did you try numerous consecutive scans? Especially the longer ones seem to create the problem. It is not possible for me to try the 32 bit W7 at this point. However, I am goin...
