Okay, i installed the latest drivers+the firmware of the device using 
extract_xc3028.pl, the device seems to be detected now, i can detect all 
the analog TV of my cable using tvtime, but manually, i mean i had to 
disable signal detection when scanning, otherwise i got no results, 
since the picture quality is terrible.

Of course i'm sure that all the connections (cable to antenna, cable to 
the usb stick, ...) are correct, since it works with my old PC equipped 
with a PCI TV card.

Any advice, what could be the problem? firmware? since you said (you 
added support for this device) should i open a bug report? is this 
device reported as working by other users?

Please help if possible, almost two weeks with no real success.
