I found the same thing while testing the analog tuner support (which I 
don't normally use).  It only happened the first time after boot.  
Unloading all of the modules (run "make rmmod" in the v4l-dvb sources) 
and reloading them always fixed it for me.  Also, make sure the tuner 
module is loaded after that.  Mine doesn't auto-load for some reason.
