These things together seem to indicate that there's a problem with the
driver WinTV tuner support for for your area of Germany.  Your best bet is

Steve & Richard, any suggestions on the best route to take here?

 |Yes. If I use xtvr I can HEAR the voice but only see snow on the window

 |I see the colorbars !

 |8, 15, 16 and 24 Bits no change :-(
