Yes, if "several times" means 3 times. But I think this isn't a good practice.
So I have bought another card (NOVA-T-Stick) and I wait for a real solution.

As I have written, the WinTV-1120 did work correctly with Ubunt 9.10. I haven't
had problems with this version of Ubuntu. But the linux-firmware-nonfree package 

for Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) didn't contain the dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw 
(see http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/all/linux-firmware-nonfree/filelist)
The dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw was introduced with lucid 
(see http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/all/linux-firmware-nonfree/filelist).
And now the question. Why without dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw I haven't had problems
and now with Ubuntu 10.04 I have problem exactly with this firmware?

So I have renamed the dvb-fe-tda10046.fw in  dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw but
I have seen that Ubuntu checks if the firmware is consistent.

In the next two days I cannot post my dmesg, as I cannot access to my
mediacenter. Tuesday night I will post it.

What you think about my consideration about Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04?
