Me-TV cannot find ANY channels (0) when i use internal scan:
example output:
08.11.2009 15:15:43: Tuning to transponder at 538000000 Hz
08.11.2009 15:15:43: Auf Signalsperre warten … (translation: waiting for signal lock)

08.11.2009 15:15:58: Currently tuned to freq 538000000, symbol rate 0, inner fec 2
08.11.2009 15:15:58: Exception: Sperren des Kanals fehlgeschlagen (translation: failed to lock channel)
08.11.2009 15:15:58: Failed to tune to transponder at 538000000 Hz
So i tried to import the channels.
Me-Tv seems to work, adds all channels, but stucks heavily and cannot show tv properly due to weak signal...
This is impossible, i have a +40db DVB-T-Antenna that already properly delivers a good signal for my region at about 18db and that is properly working with Me-Tv and same stick differend chip (af9015).
So the only suggestion is that Me-Tv inproperly tries to lock the channels.
For whom is interested:

Have you got this device working with any other DVB application under Linux? Was "scan" run with the same device?
