Do you have a FF card by chance? Euro1080 is HDTV which crashes the FF
card firmware so hard that only a complete powercycle brings it back to
life on my system.

Workaround: set the CA value from 0 to FF (IIRC) in your channels.conf
to disable tuning to this channel.

Oops, you already found the workaround :-)
Maybe the value 1570 is stored in hex in your channels.conf?
