Anyone got Twinhan Starbox II working?

Has anyone with a Twinhan Starbox II model 7021A ever been able to get it working? I just got one of those and it's supposed to be an improved version of the old Starbox that got lots of complaints but this one seems to be completely worthless also. It wouldn't work on either of 2 different Pentium 4 computers. It can scan a satellite and shows good signal strength but can't find any TV or radio channels even though the dish works and I'm watching it with 99% signal strength on a Coship receiver.
I tried the Starbox on my laptop and it did work for a little while at first but later after I rebooted it quit and now it will only say "Channel Lock Failed" and refuses to do anything.
Also, when I plug in the USB cable I always get a message saying it would run faster on a USB 2.0 port even though I'm using a Belkin USB 2.0 card!
Sometimes I get an error message saying the "Program cannot support card or driver".
When I plugged it into the second P-4 the mouse and keyboard stopped working! It came with software version 2.63 and when I try to check for updated software from Twinhan I usually get an error message in Chinese that says something about the website not being available.
Is this unit a total piece of crap or does it just need updated software and if it needs software where can I find it? Thanks.
