drivers compiled successfully (tbs-linux-drivers_v121105.zip), when connecting device there is nothing worrying in dmesg:

Performed full scan under Kaffeine and found all available channels. Unfortunatelly, Kaffeine shows the signal strength is at about 20-25% and snr is ~5%.
When watching tv programmes, every single frame is corrupted - you cannot see enything except squares.
I'm sure that my cable provider signal strength is ok, because what am I doing is unplugging cable from tv and plugging it to TBS5680 - my TV (Sony bravia) shows 100% signal strength and about 97% snr. Image quality is perfect, every frame is ok even on HD channels.
I don't think also my laptop is too slow, because I recorded stream directly from card without watching it, and recorded stream looks the same.
Is there anything I can do to watch TV using TBS5680?
