+STR     - Signal strength
+SNR     - Signal-to-noise ratio
+BER     - Bit error rate
+UNC     - Uncorrected blocks
+Video   - Calculated video bitrate in Mbit/s
+Audio   - Calculated audio / AC-3 bitrate in kbit/s (only first PID)
+
+LOCK    - Everything's working...
+SIGNAL  - Found something above the noise level
+CARRIER - Found a DVB signal
+VITERBI - FEC (forward error correction) is stable
+SYNC    - Found sync bytes

 - The plugin supports only those DVB cards with _one_ frontend (do any cards
   with multiple frontends even exist?), because I haven't yet figured howto do
