As we speak earlier LNA support is not implemented at all as our API /
framework. My personal opinion LNA should be always disabled by default
since it still makes some noise. Current hard coded values are just
selected what gives better signal for me and thus are not optimal nor
correct. Anyhow, I would not like to change those as for some user it
could cause problems. And if I would change those I will disable all :)
So better to left as those are currently until API/DVB core is fixed to
support LNA.

Enable the LNA amplifier also for DVB-T (like for DVB-T2 and DVB-C);
this greatly improves reception of weak signals without affecting the reception
of the strong ones.
Experimental data (collected with the mipsel STB) on the weakest frequencies
available in my area:
LNA OFF:
MUX level BER picture
RAI mux 4 72% 32000 corrupted
TIMB 2 75% 14 OK
TVA Vicenza 68% 32000 corrupted
RAI mux 2 78% 14 OK
LNA ON:
MUX level BER picture
RAI mux 4 73% 1500 OK
TIMB 2 76% 0 OK
TVA Vicenza 69% 0 OK
RAI mux 2 79% 0 OK
Moreover, with LNA enabled, the PCTV 290e was able to pick up 2 new frequencies
matching the integrated tuner of my Panasonic G20 TV, which is really good.
