I am know using w_scan version 20090528 and this version works partly and does also not loop. The error still sometimes happens, something changed in the device modules... The device is not always stable, i have to repluging the device and then the scanning works again.

But i guess it will never happen. Me-TV and kaffeine show the signal strength I don't know if wscan can do the same. The smart signal strength stuff is really mandatory I have seen people go from Linux to mac only to get proper dvb-t scanning and signal detection support.
