We've split the dvb-tables from dvb-apps, so never :p I'll work in the 
next few weeks on having 'releases' when there are changes so that 
package maintainers can start picking it up.

I don't 522 or 698 MHz, RTL4 is on 768 MHz here in Eindhoven.

Try scanning with w_scan; wscan tells you exactly where what exactly is. 
It can produce an inital scanning file. Send me and I'll fix it up for you.

Try tzap to tune to a channel, depending on your driver, it should 
output some rudimentary signal strength.
Signal is indeed important, Remember that RTL4 etc are all encrypted and 
need  a hardware cam or softcam (oscam) to properly work.
