I've added channel changing capability before there is a signal lock
on the initial channel, i.e. before there is an nvp. There is still
no signal monitoring on channel changes, this will come next week.

The MPEG/ATSC/DVB tables are not acquired before the signal is
considered locked, which results in a considerable amount of
time when the UI is locked up while the recorder waits for these
tables, but it's no worse than the current implementation.

I've also fixed the segfault on leaving LiveTV.
