Ronny-

I don't know for sure, but here is a guess...

I am aware that mt352 driver has been changed recently... Why dont you 
try applying the latest dvb-kernel snapshot, located here:

http://linuxtv.org/download/patches/2.6.12/DVB-2.6.12.patch.gz

Maybe this will fix your problem.  If you are still having problems 
after this, let us know.
