First of all, thanks to all who answered to my problem.

I have no other connection between the tv set and my VDR machine.

well, that was the first thing I did. I can't see any burned elements with
my eyes. I'll check them with a measuring device

Well,  As  far  as  I  can  see, everything else is fine with the card. If
everything  else  fails,  I  have two possibilities, to use it as a second
card  or  to  move  it  to  my  desktop  pc, where I could watch tv on the
monitor. But in both cases I would need a new full-featured DVB-s.
