Hi,

thanks for your hint, but I've already tried it. Without result, but this time 
I've let it without action for long time at same channel - after 1 or 2 
minutes I've got sometimes SYNC, after 8 - 10 minutes LOCK, but unfortunately 
only as spikes - once and the driver was falling back to NOSIGNAL, so I'm 
still not able to receive any program.

Last week I've tried to play a little with the driver (changing gain, 
SearchRange and some other parameters) but without any reasonable result.

As i don't have documentation (datasheets) from used chips I'm not able to 
test it more. Could you be so kind and send me info where is possible to got 
it? Of course if it is not under NDA.

Thanks,

BR,

Ales
