Title:
  dvb-t tuner produces lots of UNC and bad MPEG streams randomly (1/2 of
  the times, but not deterministic)

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  New

Bug description:
  Tuning of some dvb-t channels produces bad MPEG streams pseudo-
  randomly.

  Consecutively tuning several times to the same channel results in 1/2
  of the time channel lock with almost 0 UNC and 1/2 of the time with
  high rates of UNC. That second scenario makes the mpeg stream
  unwatchable (even no output in dvr0 most of the time)

  A sequence of "tzap -r channel_name" results in a cycle of OK/KO tuning results. After an "OK" tuning (no BER, no UNC, signal level aprox 0x6600)
  I always get a "KO" tuning (high BER, high UNC, signal level aprox 0x7700)

  Note that "pseudo-randomly" means that sometimes it doesn't happen at
  all but, when it happens, you always get the 50%-50% KO-OK sequence.
  Unfortunatelly, I'm not able to reproduce it on demand, it depends on
  some unknown conditions.
