Hello everybody,

Even while the device does not yet work out of the box and I don't know
why this is the case, i tried to get the device working. I created some
documentation of my steps, but the device refuses to find any dvb-t
signals, while I am sure there are there.

Please see the attachment for far more detailed information.

Any help is really appreciated.

Kind regards,

Jelle
