I apologise for the previous incomplete bug report.

Some time ago on my old computer I was using succesfully Technisat
CableStar Combo HD CI:

https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TechniSat_CableStar_Combo_HD_CI

with MythTV on Debian (for cable). I remember that both tuners were
available and I had to select the appropriate one during the MythTV
setup.

On a new computer for several reasons I used a different tuner just for
DVB-T. It recently broke down, so I decided at least temporarily use the
old Technisat for the terrestial broadcast.

To my surprise now only one tuner is available and after boot it is the
cable one. After a lot of experimenting I found that running

w_scan -ft -c PL -x

makes /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 switch to the DVB-T tuner and MythTV
is usable till the next boot.

This is of course rather cumbersome.

Automatically included kernel log seems irrelevant to the problem (but
illustrate some other problems of mine...). The relevant fragments are
