This problem has plagued any digital TV card.. PCHDTV and linuxtv digital
cards..  John Pullan and I have looked into this, DTK has also done some
investigation into this.. We have some ideas of how to fix it, and will find a
solution at some point, but don't expect anything in .17 for sure.. Its mostly
into code that none of us have spent much time on, and I think all of our time
has been fixing the dvb codebase to work much better than .16 ever was not
fixing this issue..
