	What created the confusion was that they initially had blue PCB's (VP-1030) 
later changed onto red PCB's (VP-1030A)and again a change to blue PCB's 
(VP-1030C).

	I believe it's a new card with a new frontend... The company said they would 
probably change the Tuner from LG ... due to the larger phase noise in 
certain conditions on the LG tuners. Possibly that could be the reason.

		Just hold on.. Let me check it up. In the meanwhile check-up your tuner, 
what exact model it is, and or a snapshot of the tuner/card. I have a 
snapshot of an open tuner on the wiki, maybe you can compare your tuner with 
that.
