Cinergy TStick RC rev.3 (rtl2832u) only 4 programs

[Torsten Seyffarth <t.seyffarth@gmx.de>]

Hallo all,

I have a problem with a Cinergy TStick RC rev.3 (rtl2832u) DVB-T 
USB-Stick, that I only get 4 programs, all on one transponder. This is 
the full story:

Before I used OpenSUSE 12.2 with a 3.4 Kernel and compiled this driver 
by myself: 
https://github.com/tmair/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0 

This worked fine.

After a hard disk crash I had to install my system anyway so I switched 
to OpenSUSE 12.3 with a 3.7 Kernel, because this should support the 
rtl2832u directly.
Basically this is working. The Stick is detected:

dvb_core              109206  3 rtl2832,dvb_usb_v2,rtl2830


The problem is, that only four DVB-T programs on one transponder can be 
received, but these in a very good quality. It should be around 20 
programs. I tested this with MythTV and Kaffeine and both only find the 
same 4 programs. With a Windows 7 PC and the antenna on the same 
position I get all programs in good quality. So I do not think the stick 
is broken or the quality of the antenna signal is the problem.

Has anyone an idea?
