I've just brought back into use in 0.21 fixes an old usb dvb-t device 
that I had stopped using when it apparently became incapable of tuning 
the more complex multiplexes.  I find that if I collect the multiplex 
info tables by scanning with a more capable card the old device still 
gives good recordings, but it produces an error message about once a 
second while doing so. I'm using it as virtual tuners 5 and 6, so it's 
not often active.

Janne created patches two years ago that, IIRC, fixed this; patches were 
12572 and 12800 for ticket #1970.  The new messages are more informative 
but rather too insistent.  Using 'mythbackend -v norecord' risks losing 
really useful information. Is there a more specific option?
