This is absolutely true, and a very common problem in the drivers (at least with the ATSC/QAM devices). Most of the drivers blindly return whatever value is in the register regardless of whether there is lock. One of the things I plan to do for the ATSC devices is go through each of them and make sure they properly return ENOSIGNAL when there is not a lock (this is actually already the defined behavior in the dvb v3 spec), as well as submitting patches for Kaffeine to properly reflect this state to the user.
