Hi again...
    Just some more feedback: I've unplugged the card and put it onto a 
different PC running both Windows and Gentoo. In Windows the card runs 
perfectly, I can see all the (free) channels, so I can be sure there's 
no problem with my antennae setup.

In Linux it doesn't work, neither in this PC (P4 running Gentoo 32) nor 
in the mediacenter PC (AMD AthlonXP running Gentoo 64). It seems we are 
missing something fundamental here... :(

Best regards,
  Eduard
