So I guess it *is* a bad signal issue.

It would be interesting to know how many lines had "unc" != 0. But
stv0299.c has:

        case FE_READ_UNCORRECTED_BLOCKS: 
                *((u32*) arg) = 0;    /* the stv0299 can't measure BER and */
                return -EOPNOTSUPP;   /* errors at the same time.... */

Maybe someone else knows how to midify stv0299.c to provide "unc" instead
of "ber" so you can know for sure.
