Comment:

 Key and network control commands both have to be processed in the RunTV()
 thread for TV class to remain in a consistent state.

 I'm sure MS Windows allows for multi-threaded GUIapplications, there are
 probably just some additional limitations. We need to trace the reason for
 the deadlock when switching from the program guide from LiveTV, and QTimer
 can be replaced with something that works on MS Windows. QTimer in
 particular causes its own thread-safety problems in Linux and OS X anyway.
