This is the case of xc3028, so you'll need to turn off signal detection while tuning, and be sure that you're loading the proper frequency table used on your Country. It should be noticed that several tuner drivers don't have signal detection (or not This is what i'm doing actually, i have signal detection disabled in tvtime+of course the proper frequency for my country, but still i get channels with very bad pictures (not watchable) with my USB sticks, but i get all the channels with a very good pictures with my PCI card (with signal detection enabled), and using the same analog cable+same setup+same kernel version.

Follow up, i manager to get the hvr 900 instead the 900H, and i got the same result with the analog signal, i tried with my friend's windows system, same result, no analog channels detected, however i got all the channels a hvr pci card, so i expect these USB keys needs really a very strong signal, so there is no problem in the driver, sorry for the noise, hopefully the 900H will get a driver soon.
