Does anybody know if these reading are normal or point to a cause of my problems?

Also, what is the AGC level? When on a channel I can't view (e.g. Bravo) it shows 0, when on another channel it showed 60, and on BBC1 it showed 16777200!

Thanks,

NDE is a node discovery error. The system tries to work out which VOD modulators you are connected to, so it knows which ones to use to send VOD movies to you on.
Does the card status change from Unknown eventually? If not then that may well be the cause of the NDE error.
As far as AGC goes, the signal levels of the 20 or so Muxes vary. The AGC alters the amount of gain the front end of the demodulator has so the tuner behind it receives a fairly constant signal level no matter what Mux you tune to. I think theres a bug in the calculation of the value displayed so some levels get theses strange massive numbers.
