What good can such an inline amplifier do? It will only add noise. I don't know much about the Grundig FE, but probably you should check your cables and LNB? > Is there something like a phantom powering available to > help the DVB-S cards with their weak powering.

I have no idea, because I don't have a data sheet for the NIM. TDA8083 register 0x20 only defines four of the six general pupose i/o pins, it depends on the NIM what is connected to them. Johannes
