It's actually trying to discover any VBoxes which are DVB receiver IP
streamers (https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VBox) which announce themselves
on the network using upnp.
I've been sent another couple of demo boxes to try out so will be
returning to the VBox support in the near future and will see if I can
rework the auto discovery to not block for 3 seconds or whatever the
delay is.
