This took me a while to figure out, as 2.6.27-10 is not the most recent 
version in the main Ubuntu repositories (2.6.27-7 is). 2.6.27-10 *is* 
available, but only if you activate the "proposed" repositories.

I installed 2.6.27-10 on Ubuntu Intrepid (after deactivating the v4l-dvb 
drivers I had installed with DKMS), and can report that the tuning 
problem has been solved ((dvb)scan finds all my channels fine). I 
couldn't test actual display, though, as the update to the proposed 
kernel messed up my Nvidia display drivers, and mplayer choked on me. 
(One of the hazards of using a "proposed" package, I guess.) It's 
probably just an issue of getting DKMS to rebuild the Nvidia drivers for 
the new kernel, but I didn't have time to test that.
