I have exactly the same problem. Same country.

I put "debug=1" on the module line.

In the log file it come up with the following line:

Mar 17 17:55:03 localhost kernel: msp3410: current mode: 5.5/5.74  B/G Dual FM-Stereo (0x0003)

I am not sure if this means I should put standard=0x03, or if using
0x03 is what is causing problems. I am going to wait until it dies
next...

I have no idea what any of these mean.
