Thanks for your so fast reply.
Unfortunately, scanning output is always empty with 100% signal strength   
(external antenna)
I also use a AverTV super_007 with the same external antenna on a  another  
PC with Kaffeine =Signal = 100%.

I also tried different dvb-usb-af9035-02.fw  firmware with different   
LINK/OFDM value (I don't understand but just tried.).
Never got any PID or channel.
Scanning and tuning work (or seem to with w_scan or kaffeine), but no   
data output.

I've noticed that videobuf_dvb and videobuf_dma_sg modules are need by a   
saa7134 card, and not by AF9035. (no videobuf / dvb_usb_af9035
dependency).
Don't know if it is normal or not.

A bit frustrating to be so close to the end, but also a bit pessimistic   
because really reaching the limit of my skills.
Anyway, I will stay tuned in case some values need to be modified in the   
source for test, or any updates I will try.

Many thanks.
Diorser.
