Somehow the dvb kernel process does a SET_FRONTEND frequently if the
status does not have FE_HAS_LOCK. The dib3000mb needs some time to get the
actual lock, I would say about max. 1 to 2 seconds. I don't want to msleep
in the SET_FRONTEND method too much, but if I had to ...

I don't really know how the best way is to solve this issue. I changed the
dib3000mb to set the HAS_LOCK just when I have TS_SYNC.

I forward this mail to the linux-dvb ml. Maybe some old hand can give us
an advise.

Patrick.
