I also live in Lund (and have the same card) and directly got interested in
this. I'm pointing my antenna towards Malmö/Jägersro and havn't gotten
danish channels neither in Windows nor scan/mythtv. Found this while
googling:

Indicating that Lund could have trouble getting Danish channels.

Have you enabled the onboard amplifier?

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options
*Add:* options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1

From:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV_Nova-T_500_PCI

Perhaps it's the wrong scan-file.
