Hi,
I am experienced same kind of problem for months now. Every new driver update is getting me closer to see tv with ubuntu. I have tried the stick in two computers (NC10 netbook and desktop, both with ubuntu karmic) and I have a cable tv.
I have had my best luck with Kaffeine, which has found plenty of channels. Unfortunately most of these are crypted. I can see about five free channels which are not the main operators channels in Finland. I have noticed same thing that signal strength is low eventhough my cable systems are okay and signal is strong for real. When I use win XP and free version of ProgDVB software I can see all free channels which I should be seeing. Signal is 100% in every channel. Howerver, in this circumstance I had a little bit trouble to scan the channels with progDVB's normal way but eventually I succeeded by using generalised scanning.
I have troubles also with Me-TV. Scanning is difficult - sometimes it works partly sometimes not. I have also tried other suggested softwares with no luck.
I got feeling that problems might be caused by somekind of differences in DVB standard between countries? Here we have mainly QAM128 and also QAM256. Could it be that driver is somehow inaccurate or "out of tune" with some specifications and that is the reason for poor signal?
Hopefully you can spot the problem.
