Hello *, I'm new here, hope to be on the right list (crossposting from linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx which mailman told me is deprecated). I'm trying to tune a AF9015, but w_scan finds only 4 tv services, while the same dongle attached to the same antenna cable, on the same computer, with Windows Media Center finds as much as 135 tv services. The 4 services it finds are all from the same 205500 KHz transponder. Any clue? Some details: # lsusb ... Bus 002 Device 002: ID 15a4:9016 Afatech Technologies, Inc.
