Hi Christian,

The TechnoTrend C-1501 card uses a "silicon tuner" and that is a
fairly new device of which the driver needed a bit of improvement.
The KNC1 DVB-C cards use a conventional "tin can" tuner, the CU1216.
See the http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-C_PCI_Cards for details.
The SAA7113 that is mentioned in your log is a chip that digitizes
analog TV input..
The cards that are sold as "DVB-C Plus"  have an S-Video analog TV
input in addition to being a DVB-C tuner card, so I expect that the
Plus cards have a SAA7113 for this.
You have probably the standard card, without the S-Video input.
DVB-C reception should work OK, also with the standard Linux kernel driver.

Cheers,
Klaas
