BD-E8900 Strange behaviour! *please read*

Hello!
I just bought a BD-E8900.
I'm in Italy.
I noticed this very strange thing:

The BD-E8900 can't tune RAI UNO at 205500 mhz (7mhz badwidth).

My Samsung TV can if I connect the antenna directly to the TV and I have 96% signal!.

BUT, if I connect the antenna to bd-e8900 then my TV also gets 0 signal on that transponder!!

It's like there is a filter on the tuner and antenna pass-thru!

I'm running the latest firmware. (but I'm afraid this is a hardware tuner related problem)

Did anybody notice this?

Yes, we know this very well.

Maybe this is hardware related problem and you should call Service?

Call service? I think all of them would do the same. It seems a tuner related problem.

Hmm nevermind. I got a new unit, incredibly, this one works and doesn't have that problem.
Also, internal inspections shows different marking on the mainboard but same (double) tuner.
I wonder what could have been so wrong in the first unit that was RMA.
Probably after all it was a hardware related problem, but I wonder what problem can cause this "filtering" behaviour.
