Quote: TechnoTrend Customer Support
Problem: specific frequency ranges are noisy (huge variation in signal
quality)
Cause: interference on the 5 Volt conductor at the PCI-Bus
You can minimize the problem with the following patch:
- remove coil below pin 14 of the tuner
- conduct pin 13 with pin 4 or pin 6 of the tuner (see figure)

Hello xxx,
I now remember something nearly forgotten to this theme.
Do you have the possibility to make changes to your card with a
soldering iron (or do you know someone who can do it for you)?
The problems apeared with the upcoming od faster Computers some years ago.
In newer revisions (1.5, ..., 2.2), the patch is already included.
There was not only transponders with instable signal, but also
"reception holes" -- depending on AC-Adaptor, main board and operating
system.
This has really helped with all similar problems.
We can do the modification (see below, appendix translator: WHERE?) for
you, of course.
If you want to make the modifiation byself, please take an quiet thickly
wire, at least 1mm diameter (appendix translator: The original text was
not in good german for a technical description, translated it said: "...
please take a not so thin wire.")
I hope this help!
