The card came from Taiwan in under a week, which was much faster than I had expected. But unfortunately it didn't work. The board won't boot the OS with the DVB card installed (DVB card works fine in another PC). It will go into the BIOS setup but hangs after exiting it. The USB port on the adapter seems to be working though. Not much I can about that so I have ordered the board recommended above and installed this one in the kids PC.
Sorry to hear it didn't work, however I think getting a mobo that had what you needed built in was always going to be the best solution. One question. Did you try doing a full reset on the bios with the card in? Sometimes that can help when adding addin hardware.

Not sure exactly what is meant by full reset, but I did "load setup defaults" and also removed the CMOS battery for an hour or so, with the same result. Is there some other way to do a reset?
