I believe that, since seen before on real broadcast in the VHF low/high
gap.
But if there is no real broadcast at all, what it is all about for now?
You can find this "problem" in theory on almost all "new" tuners, on
every TCL, TENA, YMEC and what the hell else we have melt down to be in
fact only _very few_ new ones.
Get out of the lab, until it is a real problem, but keep in mind.
