I played with all the group/filter settings for a while and now it's
gone. :-) I'll try to find out the option which caused the problem.

It always shows 49% so it looks like it's not the S/N value. It just
showed 100% for the last few weeks and changed to 49% now so I thought
it has to be S/N now. I'll send you the VERBOSE output soon...

Done, #497.

So probably it'd be the best to put some EIT settings to the Video
Source screen for tv cards with EIT support. Something like some
crawler settings (like turning on/off), activating EIT for some
channels or transports only (as there are some channels with very bad
EPG data)... This way it would make sense to let "Video Source" for
EIT users too.

That's how it works in mythtv-setup and how it's described in the docs
(*), so the user never if all his settings are saved or if he just
leaves the screen without saving.
