I get about same numbers but for me the picture is perfect. Only problem
is slow tuning. From czap command to FE_HAS_LOCK it usually takes more
than 30 seconds. I had to increase timeouts to get it tune. How long it
takes for you to get tuned?

I get picture for example tuning with czap -r and:
xine stdin://mpeg2 < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0

For me the tuning is even more slower without that patch.

Me too.
