TV Tuner Problem - No channels

[golf4fun]

Currently testing the latest Mageia B1 on a dual core athlon with 2 gig ram, hauppauge TV tuner [1600] and Nvidia Gforce 6150
Installed on a blank drive KDE and Gnome. Only software added so far is Kaffeine.

Open Kaffeine and go to configuration of TV Tuner and scan.

The Scan freezes the moment it starts to tune a single channel. No channel is found at this point.

The exact same PC on a fresh install of other Linux systems [Mandriva being one] Kaffeine scans a number of working channels even in bad weather.

After a couple of days of updates and installation of one file by me [Acidrip - part of an rpm request I made - not related as far as I know] Kaffeine today works!

Now running fresh install of Mageia 1 and not able to scan any channels with Kaffeine or Me-TV.

Anyone know what is missing?
