Since I've never used this tools before what output can I expect from a 
good/bad signal?

Please note that I have two identical systems where ONLY the dvb cards are 
different. One system uses rev 1.6 card, the other nova-s budget cards. The 
rev 1.6 card system work in all cases when the budget system fails. Maybe 
you want to check the thread I've mentioned in the vdr mailling list.

All bios, pci and whatever other settings there might exist are all the 
same. Even both hds use the same source since they are copied. Both 
computer stand next to each other with approx. 1 cm space between both 
computers. Both computers get their antenne signal from the same dish via 
90cm dish. Even all cables are from the same type. The only difference is 
that the cable length differs about a maximum of 1m. I've already checked 
the DECT issues (turned of all DECT station and phones) without success (as 
noted I my posting before). I've even checked the volatage as request by 
Klaus Schmidinger.

No.

> Does it help to #if 0 the frequency beding stuff in dvb_frontend.c?
I will test this. Are the required #ifdefs noticable even for a dvb novice?
