Tuning problem with Compro DVB-T300 PCI

Slogging on with the telly box :) I am having some trouble tuning this 
card - kernel output looks like this:

I have a perfectly functional WinTV-NOVA-T USB2 which can tune fine with 
the same signal:

The output from mplayer is just recognisable as the right channel, but 
the signal appears terribly bad.  scanning for channels on my local 
transmitter doesn't come up with any channels (the Hauppage one finds 
them all).

At first I thought it might be interference of some kind inside the 
case, but the same card tunes perfectly with the same signal under Windows.

The driver is definitely working and able to get some channels fine 
(e.g. "Dave" on 705833330), but it seems like the signal is degraded 
quite badly compared to what I get from the Hauppage

Any ideas where to start on this?  I've seen a similar problem reported 
on various forums but without much technical detail, and never here, so 
I thought I ought to ask.  I can supply any more diagnostics or an ssh 
login if anyone is curious - thanks in advance for any advice.
