The "problem" is neither the money for a card or even lack of a card.
We have a sample card with TDA10046 lying around here for months.
We just do not have the motivation to waste any money or a lot of time 
on either an already supported card or even one where we first have to
write a new driver if we do not even know if the signal strength is
efficient. That's why we asked for signal quality, distances, etc.
But we are not in a hurry and we can wait for the official start of
DVB-T transmissions in Cologne.
