I googled a bit more and figured out, that the Sceneo TVcentral guys 
seem to have similiar problems with KNC1 and Terratec Synergy card. They 
made a patch which changes "something" with the automatic gain 
control-behaviour.
May this be relevant for the linuxtv-drivers, too?  - And what could be 
changed regarding the agc at all in this driver?

It seems like the guys from itvmedia.de did some modifications to the 
driver, because they don't get the problem (I had a box here and tried 
it with the exact same card, that makes the problems in my machine). I 
allready asked them to send me their kernel/dvb-sources, but didn't got 
an answer yet.
