Hi again,

For completeness and reference for others I need to close this issue.

By comparing usbsnoop logs from Windows driver with source code of the 
demod (dib7000p) I found out that the windows driver is using auto guard 
interval when tuning. My channel configurations,  tzap and MythTV, was 
using manual guard interval at 1/8.  After changing my configurations to 
use auto guard interval I got 5:th mux working.
Now the card is back in duty ...

Merry Christmas,
