And a comment that I should have made earlier:  it's not clear that the 
two symptoms you report have the same cause.  I have just found my 
system reporting 'offset>181' (with no other obvious problems), and I 
'rescanned all transports', which is a five-minute job.  Generation of 
that error message is schedule dependent and 'unreliable', so I don't 
know yet if it has been cured.   I rarely get failure to lock.

The BBC's DVB-T SD broadcasts have been using abnormal settings during 
the Commonwealth Games; ie BBC FOUR has been 544x576 instead of its 
usual 720x576.  I don't know if this has anything to do with the 
'offset' messages.
