Use wired for good reliable connection.
Lack of channels probably down to same thing interferring with your wireless= mobile phone, tv, microwave, etc, etc.

Have you tried putting in one card in at a time?
As for your questions.
Have you tried plugging in a normal TV to check the signal?
Do you get digital on other Tv's in your house?
Is your router the same make as your Network card? You should also be able to manually switch to one type of Wireless mode in the router, sometimes helps.

Checked the power supply to the cards? Could be why it's intermittent on the wireless.
