Yebbut... It's USB, which I don't want, and 59 quid isn't the best price you
can get it for (bit late to say that now I suppose)

Although not officially a Freeview area I'm getting plenty good signal
strength so I don't think I'm too limited that way - What is limiting me is
the card I have only has drivers to work with the dreadful crashy buggy
software. I also think there might be a conflict with my AIW card, but
that's not my problem IMO ;)

I was wondering if anyone had had any joy getting the 761 to actually work
with anything else, as I reckon that's where my problems lie. Failing that
I'll be returning it, the seller is offering a VP DVB-T as a replacement -
Not a great and up to date card by the looks of things, but at least it
works with other software which means maybe I can use Mediaportal if the
bundled software is too crap.
