DVB-T scan resulting in >15 PIDs breaks on my hardware

[Martijn vdS]

I have a DVB-T USB stick that has a 15-PID hardware PID filter:

[95846.062565] dvb-usb: will use the device's hardware PID filter (table count: 15).

For some reason, this breaks scans when they arrive at the most crowded frequency in my area:
