No FE_HAS_LOCK on certain channels

Hi,
I'm trying to set up MythTv on top of  Fedora 7 and using Nova-T 500. 
Everything works normal up to channel scan and mythtv start.

This is what dmesg returns about the card:

[root@media mythtv]# dmesg | grep dvb
dvb-usb: found a 'Hauppauge Nova-T 500 Dual DVB-T' in cold state, will 
try to load a firmware
dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw'

Remote works fine too.

Scandvb (from dvb-apps) using the file below returns a long list of 
stations on the format: (One long line per station - linebreaks are mine)

TV4 Varmland:674000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ
:FEC_3_4:FEC_1_2:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD _INTERVAL_1_4:
HIERARCHY_NONE:1049:1048:6140

ztv.se:642000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:
FEC_1_2:FEC_AUTO:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD _INTERVAL_1_4:
HIERARCHY_NONE:1199:1198:1190

I picked these because I get lock on the second one but not on the first.

This is the file that scandvb uses:
# Sweden - Karlstad/Sormon
# T freq bw fec_hi fec_lo mod transmission-mode guard-interval hierarchy
# Channels 43 46 30 42
T 546000000 8MHz 1/2 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE
T 642000000 8MHz 1/2 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE
T 650000000 8MHz 1/2 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
T 674000000 8MHz 1/2 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE

Tzap (also from dvb-apps) for TV4 Varmland above returns this:

using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
tuning to 674000000 Hz

status 00 | signal 4470 | snr 0000 | ber 001fffff | unc 00000000 |

The same for ztv.se returns:
[root@media mythtv]# tzap ztv.se
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
tuning to 642000000 Hz

status 1f | signal 43b3 | snr 0000 | ber 00003620 | unc 000003f0 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 4430 | snr 0000 | ber 00000210 | unc 00000176 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK

dvbsnoop gives lots of data for the "good" one and nothing for the 
"bad". (Not included here)
Grateful for all ideas.
