a) The pinnacle 310i finds everything?
    It has the same chipset, but an almost perfectly handled tuner chip...
    This means that your initial config file is ok...
b) Does this mean that in case 4, all other channels are found?
c) Case 5: This finds everything?
d) What happens if you use the scan data of the pinnacle card?
    Does it tune SBS? Does it just take more time to stabilize?
    This can be understood.
e) Just to be sure: did you clarify the open point with .antenna_switch
    (i think so)
f) the kernel logs are as expected.

I guess he meant the switching between analog, radio and dvb-t. This is the
GPIO handling and card depending.

If my assumptions above are wrong, there is one other chance:
Recently i saw another card that does the (unusual) mode switching
like card 87. So to be sure, you might try to force this card type (be
aware of the antenna inputs, if in doubt, try both.
