have you tried tuning to channels you scanned with the HD5500? The
frequencies won't change.
If that doesn't work, perhaps it's a conflict with the HD5500? I have
my two A180's with my HD3000 and they work fine, but the 5500 uses
different drivers. Try taking the HD5500 out of the machine to see if
it gets the A180 working. Though it looks like it should be working
and could just be a bad tuner on the card.
