LNA is controlled by demod GPIO line. I don't remember if it is on or
off for DVB-C currently. Look em28xx-dvb.c file, you can disable or
enable it from there (needs re-compiling driver).
I also saw BER counter running some muxes during development, but I
think all channels I have are still working. And I didn't even have time
to optimal parameters for tuner / demod. I will try to examine those
later...
