I've been preoccupied by suddenly-non-loading wifi firmware on a laptop, 
but I've just gone through this DVB tuning process again - on the same 
build.  I found the left-arrow, and was able to set up multi-rec and the 
inter-transport links and save what looks like the full channel line-up. 
  But after that I tried to examine the transports, and the segfault on 
entering the Transport Editor happened again, leaving the tuner in a 
busy state.  'sudo modprobe -rf saa7134' wasn't allowed and I did a 
(slow) reboot.  It's recording now.
