[linux-dvb] TT-1500 / TDA10046

[Jouni]

Yes, as there is no 5 volts, it should not affect antenna signal
reception (with antenna without amp).
So your problem is something else...

Have you tested with w_scan:

It is sometimes easier to use, as it autoscans all frequencies, so it
does not need any initial scanning data.
