That could have been a portion of the problem:  IIRC Mythbuntu is being 
dropped in favour of using a full-fledged operating system. (Mythbuntu 
was what I would call a partial operating system, in that it only had 
data to support the MythTV application. [Almost sounds like I'm being 
condescending - by no means!])

Yeah!  :)

I don't know what 'cherrytree' is but Googling comes up with a note 
taking application, and not sure if it would not start because of the 
locale problem but also possibly because of the partial OS problem 
(Mythbuntu vs. Debian Stretch.  ...Whoa! Are you /the/ Klaus Becker who 
did the French language support in cherrytree?!

I have no idea so will let the others guide you.

Odd it said it jumped to 2768000.  Was initially thinking a mechanical 
failure: on an early system here (many years ago) I had a loose center 
coax on a short (18" / ½ meter) piece between my splitter and one of the 
tuners.  Found out the center conductor got shoved: one end had and inch 
(2.5 cm) of coax sticking out and the other barely making contact.

I am essentially going to bow out of the thread as I don't know the 
French and German television standards and would just be guessing. 
Appears I was able to help with some of the basics to get you on the 
right track.
