That's very sad .... I had issue with HDMI at the beginning as well. HDMI didn't always work - cable was not good enough, other one works all the time.

Maybe this is one is good enough (but more expensive) ? http://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/J1900IC/

Well it looks like it was the HDMI. Tried a shorter, newer one and it works fine now. Thanks.

Still having issues with OS though. Running Openelec with TBS drivers. Card detected fine but no network. After each reboot it's hit and miss whether the network starts up or not - I have never seen that on any OS ever! Did some set up and off I went for my tea. Came back and the remote refused to work. Rebooted and it's now only seeing 2 tuners of the 4. I have wasted so much time on this I'm thinking of going back to Argus/Win7 and running this as a server with an rPi frontend which I have working perfectly in the bedroom. Annoying but it seems like the only sure fire trouble free way.

EDIT: Finally ditched Linux and back to Win 7 with Argus (my preferred PVR backend). My only issue with the previous HTPC was XBMC losing focus which I hope to solve this time round. However I still have a problem - my MCE remote dongle, simply unplugged from the old box and plugged into this one isn't working. All drivers are in and updated - I have no issues in Device Manager. TBS card is running great and the machine is serving recordings to Kodi elsewhere.

Any help appreciated.
