Hi,
I successfully updated to the latest upstream kernel available today :

~$ uname -a
Linux Henri1504 4.2.0-040200rc1-generic #201507051635 SMP Sun Jul 5 20:36:51 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The bug is not fixed in this version : It worsened.
When Ubuntu is "cold started", the computer freezes when I start VLC to open a DVB stream. (it never did this with my previous kernel)
And on par with the previous kernel, when Ubuntu is booted after a restart from Windows, VLC is able to display DVB streams. (although it seems that it is less capable in decoding the stream.)

When I say "the computer freezes" I mean that mouse and keyboard do not respond.
Maybe I should try to run something in the background to see if it freezes too.

Thank you for helping me helping you helping everybody.
