Dual Hybrid PCIe S2 problem scanning

Hi All,
I have a new Dual Hybrid PCIe S2 from digital now and have been very happy with it until ch10 stopped working. I put it down to the current weather conditions but after a couple of days re-enabled my dvico dual digital (only the PCI side) and it had no problem with c10. After much mucking around and re-setting etc, the dual digital came good on c10 after I put a splitter/amp on the antenna and fed both cards.
The trouble now is the Dual Hybrid PCIe S2 doesn't scan sbs and only comes up with 15 channels. I have noticed the first time I installed it that I had to re-scan channels a few times to get everything.
As I workaround I setup the tv signal for DVICO only and re-scanned and got 40 channels first up. I enabled the other tuners with MCETunerAppv2.0. I now have all 3 tuners seeing all channels (courtesy of the DVICO scan) and SBS is fine despite the digital now tuners not wanting to scan it. Is anyone else having scanning issues with this card? At least I can record 3 programs at once now

cheers,
Anthony

An Update,
I contacted the reseller and they rightly suggested reception issues. A new aerial seems to have sorted things out, though I had to scan twice to get sbs (41 channels now). It is worth noting though that this card is a little less sensitive than the dvico. The good news is that the two cards co-exist quite well for 3 tuners. I have disabled the USB dvico tuner as it is slow to change channels and problematic (doesn't like c9 and c90 but prefers c5 and c6).
