I've never seen short FE_HAS_LOCK spikes since the driver fix. I'm still
running the modified cDvbTuner::Action() method with debug output.

There is still the infamous "Video data stream broken" error on my
system (1 Nexus-s, 1 Skystar 2 rev2.6c) with the driver fix and an
unmodified VDR-1.3.12. I don't get these errors any more since I'm using
the modified cDvbTuner::Action() and some other modifications. I can
send a patch against the upcoming 1.3.13 for review if you are interested.
