Ok, the card works. There are two possibilities: - The frontend driver is broken. - The card is somehow different from those supported by the driver, and a special handling is required. @all: Can someone confirm that the current dvb-ttpci driver works for DVB-T FF cards (ALPS TDLB7 tuner, sp8870-based)?
