The lock status is tested in the signal monitor. All waiting
for an event does is tell us that the tuner has changed to
the appropriate frequency so we are not checking for the lock
status on the last frequency we tuned to. This is needed
because the DVB drivers now use a separate thread to do the
tuning.

So if you check for the lock status right after tuning with
recent DVB drivers it can return true while not actually
being on the frequency you just tuned to.
