I hope they offer the same support as BuyDVB/TBS directly does for card failures mate.

Yep, let us know how it goes. I am very happy with my eXpress card for £50 - seems to handle most stream types without issues.

My TBS6925 arrived friday morning three days after ordering.Inserted card,installed software from disk.Then the problems started.
Nothing worked.Ah LNB feed on loop out.Corrected that.ProgDVB worked ok.DVDDream when it felt like it.Crazyscan complaining it was missing a .DILL. File installed missing .DILL file complains that it missing another one.
To cut a long story short I found a .DILL package with all the missing .DILLs in.That sorted now it wants Streamreader .DILL.Sorted that then Crazyscan worked when it felt like it.It seemed as if the software could not get on with each other.
My OS is W7 64 BIT.Is that the problem. Tried a W7 32BIT OS.Nope nothing would work properly.I have loads of Clonezilla backups. tried the first clean OS.Nope nothing doing.I tried so many things that I could write a book on it.
So the SOLUTION.For me anyway.Installed the image I took before installing the card.Downloaded latest Windows Driver. 64 BIT ProgDVD7. Trail DVBDream. From TBS web site.Installed them one at a time. Took an image after each on so I can go back if it goes belly up with the next one.

Up to now I have in order of installing. Windows driver. ProgDVB7 64 BIT. Crazyscan. TBS blindscan. DVBDream. All working well. I think that the only differnt program is the 64 BIT PtogDVB7.DVBDream is moving my stabb motor That needs a little work.but promising.Scanned 28.2 ,21.6. 10E up to now.
I have lots of things to sort yet.Like where did TBS Blind scan Put the scan results.I still have the other programs to install.This is an ongoing project.
I think that if you have a 64BIT OS.The thing NOT to do is install any thing from the supplied DVD.That seemed to be the root of my problems.
I am quite happy now.
