Great thank you for that link.  I tried it, it only locks to two frequencies each time, not the ones I am used to tuning to here (Emley Moor).  It is consistent.  But no services found.  Again - I know the antenna to be providing a good signal - the Nova-T  tells me so.

w_scan -a 0 -f t -F -t 3 -vvv

I have set verbose output on and here is the output from w_scan (only the bottom part):

Done.

So I can tell the card is getting a signal (sort of!) - I do hope I'm not missing any kernel drivers - but surely I wouldn't get this far?

Yes, as there is no 5 volts, it should not affect antenna signal
reception (with antenna without amp).
So your problem is something else...

Have you tested with w_scan:
It is sometimes easier to use, as it autoscans all frequencies, so it
does not need any initial scanning data.

The Jumper is removed, there is 0 volts provided on the antenna input  
of the T-1500.

The resistance of the antenna itself shows 3.3 Ohms which is quite  
low, but as the booster is removed this should be OK I think?

You can check the antenna with ohm-meter, if it is near 0, then it

short the 5V supply. But if you disabled the 5V with jumper  
(checked it
with voltmeter?) it would not make difference.

I have removed the jumper on the card that provides the amp (there is
only one jumper).

But as to whether or not the antenna still shorts I'm not sure.  Can
I check with a multimeter?

I read about turning off the amp (I2C 0x65) which means little to
me!  It's on the wiki.

My TT-1500 will not get good signal, if the antenna shorts the 5V  
feed
for antenna amp from
the cards antenna in -connector.

I have had real problems getting the TT-1500 (DVB-T) working.

I have been using dvbtune for some diagnostics.

The following should yield BBC Multiplex on my local transmitter

dvbtune -c 0 -qam 16 -gi 32 -cr 3_4 -bw 8 -tm 2 -f 722000

It does not, I tried adding 166Khz (722166) but no luck.  So I  
tried
just working my way through some frequencies.  I can get the
FE_STATUS to report FE_HAS_SIGNAL on some frequencies.  I even get
FE_HAS_CARRIER on occasion but never any more than that.

Does this mean the tuner is getting *something*.  It's not  
random for
sure, I always get this result on the few frequencies I have tried.
I am using 2.6.18.1.  I know the signal (antenna) to be OK as I get
no issues with a CX based DVB-T module, on any frequency I pick.
This has to be a driver or settings issue.  I compile the relevant
modules into the kernel, I get valid firmware loads in dmesg  
(version
20).

I can insert relevant debugging code if needed - if anyone has any
ideas what might help.  I can send a TT unit out if anyone needs  
one
to test with.
