It seems that subsequent tuning makes the device worse, reducing the
maximum effective packet bandwidth. Btw, this happens with both xHCI
and EHCI drivers, so, it is not related to any USB 3.0 issue.

Enabling some demux logs, it is possible to see that there are too many
FEC errors:

[73514.186880] dvb_dmx_swfilter_packet: 4546 callbacks suppressed
[73514.186933] TEI detected. PID=0x17f data1=0xc1
[73514.186965] TEI detected. PID=0x1c68 data1=0xbc
[73514.186993] TEI detected. PID=0x17f data1=0xc1
[73514.187022] TEI detected. PID=0x1c68 data1=0xbc
[73514.187049] TEI detected. PID=0x17f data1=0xc1
[73514.187080] TEI detected. PID=0x1c68 data1=0xbc
[73514.187105] TEI detected. PID=0x17f data1=0xc1
[73514.194878] TEI detected. PID=0x1c68 data1=0xbc
[73514.194906] TEI detected. PID=0x17f data1=0xc1
[73514.194927] TEI detected. PID=0x1c68 data1=0xbc
[73521.569205] TS speed 402 Kbits/sec 

I'm starting to suspect that this could be a hardware issue.

It would be good to see if others can use it and tune to several
channels.

Remote controller support was added.
