I am using the 1.93 version and I admit that there are big shortcomings in it, particularly with regard to lack of EPG and DiseqC control which is not totally reliable. Also i feel that there is no Cam information which should be available with the Ci version I have communicated these thoughts to Pentamedia and perhaps some of the issues may be addressed in future releases.With specific regard to the DiseqC control, what settings are you using for the different LNBs? It doesn't work by using straight 1,2,3,4, you will need to experiment, I have mine working on a 2 way switch by assigning &quot;5&quot; to the second LNB and it works most of the time.As far as I know there are no other software options for the card and find that most of the PC Sat cards are limited compared to their standalone equivalents. If you are looking to upgrade I would sell your existing card possibly using the auction site attached to this board and buy a dedicated stand alone receiver, you will be very pleasantly surprised with the difference in overall performance and capability. RolfPS You can publicise your aution at this forum, as it is dedicated to Internet by satellite and there are always people looking for the Pentavision cards. http://pub75.ezboard.com/funofficalssfrm14</blockquote>
