Since the day my local transmitter 'upgraded' my budget DVB-T will no 
longer tune any station (tested with various apps, on various recent 
kernels), gut feeling is this may be a kernel driver issue.

I know the transmission mode for all channels included changes from 2K, 
& QAM16  to 8K, & QAM64, and suspect this may be the reason (or one hell 
of a coincidence), can anyone offer any advice as what to do to obtain 
meaningful information to include in a bug report posting.

PS. I tested the DVB-T card under WindowsXP and it (the hardware with 
the Windows software) works OK. I live in one of the first areas of the 
UK to 'upgrade'.
