Has anyone had issues with the coax connector falling off the card? Both of mine have had this issue.

Thanks, -Abs

They're definitely not very well attached. I remember having to do something on that front last time the box was open for a hardware change. Sadly the details are a blur aside from a mental "note to self" to be careful about it.

Do you mean the solder connection is broke or do you mean that the coax connector is so short it is hard to get the cable connector threaded to the connector on the board.

My experience was that they where physically loose (some kind of slip fit connection IIRC) which exposed the solder joints to potential strain. Oh, and what you said too.

On both my cards the coax connector snapped off the board. This has never happened to any of the four hauppauge cards I own.

The cards still work but the cable is just sitting in there waiting for the next bump to dislodge it.
