Anyway, ber = bit-error-rate, unc = uncorrectable-errors
-> signal is good

If you get this errors with the signal from above, the frontend
is not the problem. It could be a DMA problem.
But since the card of the same making seems to work for other people,
it is possible that your card or your motherboard is subtly broken.

Why does VDR report two different error counts in the same second?
What exactly are continuity errors and TS errors in VDRs view?
