  The new card arrived, thank you, and it works.  It clearly is of a
different revision, visually there is something different in the tuner
region.  All chips have very different markings and the serial numbers are
far apart.

  Btw. before the new card arrived, I already had bought another identical
Hauppage DVB-C card from a local vendor (www.verkkokauppa.com), and it is
also a new revision and works well.

  The differences around tuner can be seen in the following pictures:

  A good advice for at least the HTV cable network in Helsinki is to tune
their channels 0.25MHz below the official frequencies with Linux drivers.
Either the tuner, Linux drivers or HTV network, or all of them have some
inaccuracies there.

  Also the chips run quite hot, so I plan on adding some passive heatsinks
on them.  People on mailing lists have found that it helps with
occassional lockup problems.
