The report says just somehow works. I think I would try with some peace of copper from a LNB cable into the RF connector and a Voltmeter, if there is any sign of life first, either using kaffeine with better files for scanning or the "setvoltage" tool in /test. You might want to set dvb_powerdown_on_sleep=0 for dvb_core. For the other saa7134 driver cards currently is hacked on, For Dominic with the Leadtek on the saa7134 driver, Terry, me or anyone else interested should provide some test patches. Why that AverMedia analog only in the Ukraine doesn't have sound even on PAL around there, is beyond my imagination, except it would not have ever been tested for TV sound, also beyond what I can imagine. Any log for obviously failing sound carrier detection is still missing.
