Checking for tuner availability from frontend thread start disrupts video stream. Change to check for tuner and start pipeline from frontend open instead and stop pipeline from frontend release.
That's wrong, as DVB can be opened on read-only mode, where it won't be changing anything.
Also, I don't think POSIX allows to return an error like EBUSY on open: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/open.html
It doesn't document all the errors you may return. Quite a lot of kernel drivers return EBUSY when they are "single open" things.
POSIX documents certain cases that *must* error and what the error code is. It documents certain possible failures and what their error code is. Beyond that it's up to you.
