I'm pretty sure mine was an actual hardware fault. At first it worked perfectly. Then after a bit the server would occasionally lock up hard or reboot, then more often, then every time. I spent ages thinking it was a driver problem and did all sorts of traces etc and found nothing. In the end I just got mythtv to not use the second tuner (or the first tuner - as long as only one was used it was fine). Then about a month ago it started locking up again occasionally, then more often, then every time, only using the one tuner. Strange though that if it booted up without locking up it would be okay. I bought a usb tuner and haven't used the cx23885 card since. I will be seeking a replacement under warranty though, as the signal quality is quite a bit better. Good luck in your quest though! James
