If kaffeine works but xine and scan not, the reason lies in your initial
tuning file. If channel parameters - i.e. the guard interval - are wrong,
the tda10046 won't lock. This can easily be the case since some other
drivers just ignore these values.

This is still the old firmware. Sorry, i didn't mention this:
Depending on the card wiring, you either need to reload the saa7134 and
saa7134-dvb module or even do a power cycle to get the new firmware
loaded.

Thats ok. If debugging is on, this message occurs at every tuning attempt.
BTW: this is maximum gain, is your antenna energy low?

Thanks a lot for the offer, i will come back on this.
Can you please follow the hints i gave you before we continue?
