Based on this information, and the logs, I'm guessing that either the 
FE_SET_VOLTAGE ioctl or the FE_SET_FRONTEND ioctl are silently failing 
some of the time. I don't remember if you said that it always fails on 
the same set of channels, or if it's random?

The line "DiSEqCDevTree: Changing LNB voltage to xxV" in the log is 
immediately before a call to FE_SET_VOLTAGE, and if the ioctl fails, you 
would have seen "DiSEqCDevTree: FE_SET_VOLTAGE failed" in the log right 
after that. Similarly, the line "Tune(): Tuning to xxxkHz" in the log is 
immediately before a call to FE_SET_FRONTEND, and if the ioctl fails, 
you would have seen "Tune(): Setting Frontend tuning parameters failed." 
in the log right after that.

What kind of card do you have? Have you noticed any dvb-related failures 
(i2c especially) in the kernel log (i.e. dmesg)?
