Some update.

Strangely enough, the problem seems to be related to a too *strong*
terrestrial signal. If I plug a small antenna instead of the one on the
rooftop, things get much better. Likewise, reception improves vastly
if I use the roof antenna with a longer coaxial cable.

Now, the Windows driver seems to be able to attenuate the signal
somehow, as after initializing under windows and before cold booting
the roof top antenna works like a charm (as stated on previous mail).
The small antenna stops working (signal probably too weak?).

Does this ring any bell? Is it possible to make the driver to attenuate the
signal (possibly via an option)? Some pointers on where to look?

Thanks again,
