I'm pretty sure it's not the PCI slot.

It's now working. I had to change:

                        break;

This is probably wrong, but it works for me. Scan now completes 
succesfully and a scan of all 70 transponders on the satellite completes 
in just over a second a channel.

Thanks a lot for your help!!!

Cheers,

Allan.
