Did you check signal quality with femon?

There is a known design flaw in rev 1.3 full-featured cards which may
cause tuning problems, especially on fast machines.

See http://vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=14982&sid=
(search for 'Feuerpfeil').

| Zitat: TechnoTrend Kundendienst
|
| Problem:
| Bestimmte Frequenzbereiche sind gestört
| ( Starke Schwankungen in der Signalqualität )
|
| Ursache:
| Störungen auf der 5 Volt Leitung am PCI- Bus
|
| Durch folgende Änderungen kann man das Problem minimieren:
| - Spule unter Pin 14 des Tuners entfernen.
| - Pin 13 mit Pin 4 oder Pin 6 am Tuner verbinden (s.Bild).

Basically, this flaw should affect all drivers. But who knows...
