It is a harmless cosmetic bug in the log message - see
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5882#comment:15. My DVB-S system log
contains the same messages, and works fine.

Sound like either poor signal/tuner issues, or insufficient playback
capability (more likely for DVB-S2 recordings). Can you check a
recording on a faster machine (DVB-S and DVB-S2 files) or run it
through ProjectX to check for errors in the stream (DVB-S)

This may imply that there are problems auto-detecting your tuner, or
that your modprobe config is provding the wrong tuner number.
