Sorry lastly......

If I've read your thread correctly you're using a Hauppauge 4000?  I
thought that the Hauppauge 4000 only allowed either DVB-T or DVB-S to
be used one at a time?  Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, I was
under the impression that part of the silicon on the card was shared
between -T and -S and as a consequence it was either one or other in
use at any one time.
