You should be lucky it's only 5 seconds. If you have a remote tuner
then people are seeing 15 second before LiveTV starts

And how does that explain the 15 second delay with remote tuners? And
how does that explain the much faster LiveTV startup times with 0.18?
In my opinion, something needs to be fixed in 0.19 to speed up LiveTV,
but most of the developers tell us that we just shouldn't be watching LiveTV.
