You are right, you would always get this error if it was the main
problem.  I'm not too sure why it comes and goes.

The reason it always outputs locked is because I never got around to
figuring out how to read signal strength from the device, so it always
pretends to have a signal.

I'm not so sure, since there have only been a few reports of the 3000s
working, and I don't have the hardware to test it out.  Everything looks
ok to me in the debug output you've provided, though.  The box appears
to be accepting the tuning command and also the section feed commands.
If you use one of the pre-made channels.conf files and szap with the -r
option, do you get any output from the dvr device node?
