No :)

I see you have a P4, and I'm assuming the gfxcard is decent and well 
supported by X...

That's more interesting - the value is far higher than earlier...

Could you run dvbtune -f 641833' to ensure the card is tuned, and then 
let 'dvbtune -m' run for maybe 30 seconds, and just look at the 
output... BlockErrors must /always/ be zero, and the VError value should 
be under 15000 - perhaps your signal is variable, possibly a fault in 
the aerial cable?

Yes, I know it's clutching at straws a bit :)
