Hi, has anyone had time to look deeper into this problem? I've been 
trying to do some debugging and testing different values here and there, 
but it's been kinda pointless, since I really don't know what to do.. 
Anyway, the card is practically useless at the moment in Helsinki, I can 
only see some stupid sports channel that uses QAM64. So any suggestions, 
anyone?
