  I got the card replaced with satland.de, and it worked in the Windows
data application for say 10-20 minutes.  I tuned to several streams and
the signal quality was perfect, or what the smiling face and 100% displays
say.  Then I started the TV application and .. oh here we go again.
Nothing happens there.  I go back to data app, nothing happens there
either any more.  During the next few hours, the card loses its mind
slowly.  First in for example Linux 'scanpci' tells it is not device
0x7416 any more, but 0x3146, 0x2146 or 0x6146.  After a while the card has
id's of all 0xffff, and later it does not show in pci scans any more.

  Does anybody else have such bad luck?  Am I the only one with two
defective cards?  I cannot believe this.  I have built PC's for years and
have not seen a card melt in my hands like this.


Earlier card had these serial numbers:

SN 2023491102900061
MAC 00D05C1F22E3

The replacement had these serial numbers:

SN 2023491102900185
MAC 00D05C1F2361

Difference of 124 in serial numbers and 126 in MAC numbers.  A bad batch?
