I have a Hauppauge Nova-T 500 Dual DVB-T installed in a P4 3 GHz pc

These seem to be relevant lines from the dmesg log:

The only modprobe option I have is:
options dvb_usb_dib0700 force_lna_activation=1

The card runs really well.  I have line-of-sight to Mt Kau Kau and I use 
unamplified rabbit ears.  Signal levels are generally reported in 50% to 60% 
range but I have no troubles locking on to any of the multiplexers.

The only issue I have in my setup is that the card will not activate correctly 
with a warm boot.  I have to do a cold boot to make it work.

Have you run scan to aid with your diagnostic process?
