Could I suggest something (probably stupid): I think that the TT 3650 
is the same card but using USB, right (I mean it uses the stb0899/
stb6100 chips also)? So if someone could sniff the usb transactions 
during a successfull lock on a problematic channel (using windows 
then), we could see what is different.
I do not have neither Windows, neither this card, but a good soul could 
help us here.
Manu, is that sensible?
