You might need an amplifier - at least the older KNC1 / Cinergy's are
quite sensitive on the SNR, even when other DVB-C cards tune with no
problem.

If you happen to have Siemens DVB-C card and have a higher BER than ~500
on a frequency, chances are that the KNC1 can't tune - this appears to
be the same with the Windows drivers.

Anything with around 20 dB gain worked for me - however I have a
TDA10021. I can recommend the 2 x 20 db BK Amplifier from kab24.de but
try shorter cabling first if you can.
