You could try to connect a roof antenna to your stick and then see whether you can get a correct reception in Windows. And after that is working you could try it out in Kaffeine. OK, I have tried the tuner at my new house. There is a roof antenna that was connected to a DVB-T box tuner for a regular TV. I do not have a TV to test it, but I can assume that it was working. I plugged the dvb-t usb stick, launched Kaffeine, did a full AUTO scan, and got nothing again. I have attached a sample of the outputs. I can help debug the thing, and when the container arrives with the rest of my computer stuff, and when I have Internet, I can even give some account and remote access. But in the mean time, I might as well buy something that works right out of the box. The current tuner I have was a gift, a new one is not that expensive.
