Are you sure you have zero signal strength, or just really low signal
strength?  I am pretty sure on the s5h1411, the signal strength field
is populated with the the SNR, which could be construed as very low
signal strength if you were expecting a percentage scaled from 0 to
65535.

Have you run femon to confirm that the strength field really is zero?

On some demods, the strength and SNR indicators are only valid if you
have a lock.

But why don't I get a lock? I was getting signals with my pcHDTV3000 so I know it isn't an antenna problem.
