verror with dvbtune is important. It should be below 1000 if at all 
possible. For BBC I managed to get verror rates around 50 which is next to 
perfect. ber should be at 0 after tuning.

A strong signal shows no or very, very few breakups in the stream.

It's an ARM crash if the message log usually /var/log indicates "The ARM 
has crashed". Front end lockup usually precedes the ARM crash notice. A 
complete sporadic lock up of the card is usually an ARM crash.
