Your situation improved when you changed the GPIO setting?
Regarding the scanning:
1) Did you try to change the GI setting as i recommended last time?
2) Regarding kaffeine i noticed different transmitter frequencies
Are you sure you used the right config file?

It is VERY unlikely that your card works with one application but not
with another. All upper layers of the driver are card independent and
saa7134-dvb is known to work with kaffeine.

May i ask you to have a look with the Pinnacle card? This one is affected
by the recent patch.


Best regards
