First I changed a cable that I was suspicious of (it was way too long anyway) but I got no significant improvement. Then I applied the 'revert2.diff' patch that Rob sent and cold-booted. I reran the test and got significantly lower BER and UNC values. There is still something odd going on, in that the UNC seem to get worse with repeated tunings to the same channel, a few minutes apart (less than 10min). This might be a measurement artefact, I don't know. I might try changing the channel order - that should test whether the trend of the UNC values is with frequency or order in the tuning sequence.

2009-12-07 Try signaltest.pl again. First, with old cable and no code changes hg identify = c57f47cfb0e8+ tip tuner 0 is usbid 0fe9:db78 do three consecutive runs to see if things worsen with repeated tuning.
