I've add this reset for two reasons:

1) My second card uses a stv0297. The UCB value is always reset during the tuning, because 
the stv0297 is completely reinitialized. This occurs, if the frequency is changed or if 
the frontend lost the lock. I've add the reset to see the same behavior within the 
femon-plugin for both cards.

2) Above 650MHz, the signal strength of my cable is very low. It isn't usable. I get high 
BER and UCB values. The card with the tda10021 is a budget one. It is used for epg 
scanning in the background. It isn't possible to compare the UCB values of both cards, if 
the cards are tuned to the same frequency/channel and if the tda10021 was previous tuned 
to a frequency with a low signal.
