Hi Hartmut,

the « other issue »  is the right one :
I just had to shift forward by 167  kHz each channel  frequency   in the 
tuning data file to make the TDA10046 driver locking channels.

I wanted to notice that thanks to saa7134  ALSA driver, sound is ok for 
dvb-t but cable connected from card to pc is needed for analogue tv.
It's not a problem indeed.

Thank you Harmtmut for sharing your  big experience.
