Hi Alex,

No idea why your kaffeine picture is better but I was fighting about
a year with the Twinhan VisionPlus DVB-T card until I finally called the
reseller and he suggested swapping the card to another. We did that and the
reception have been absolutely flawless.
Seems like there is a big difference in the sensitivity of the tuner on those
cards...
