Probably because when the PC is on (btw I am assuming :-) there is active 
amplification or signal strengthening going on by the DVB card, whereas when 
the PC is off the DVB card acts like a bad passive splitter.

I use an active splitter, i.e. one input, 2 outputs, signal is amplified 
(according to the splitter 18dB per output, but who knows :-),  then you have 
one for your card and one for the original setup. Should work. I got better 
results (digitally) with an active splitter than a passive one. Splitter only 
cost like 7 euro's.

YMMV :-)

Cheers,
Dennis
