I now have the card in a separate box (for testing purposes, I don't want to
break my working server).

My testing now leaves me pessimistic that I will get it working.

In summary, the drivers appear to load and the card registers and is
recognized by the software I am using, including mythtv.  At first I thought
it was a signal issue and tried different aerials, but on closer
examination, I noticed that actually mythtv (and tzap) were reporting 0%
signal on the same aerial that another card was reporting 50% signal.  So I
now think there is a card fault with the aerial connector...

Oh well, unless someone tells me that my conclusion is wrong, I am not going
to waste a lot more time on this card.

Thanks to all for your suggestions.
