Comment:

 (In [7636]) Fixes #540. channelqueued was not always being set and the
 support for to switching tuners while changing channels wasn't very DTV
 friendly either.

 I cleaned up the channel keys input stuff, which means no more
 channelqueued variable. Also the channel input didn't work properly
 between tuners if you had smart keys enabled. This was because the
 channel entry is cleared once you enter a channel prefix not
 corresponding to a channel on the current tuner. I added a check
 for whether the queued channel is on the current tuner, if it is
 not we use the entire queued input. This is the same queue we
 were using for teletext switching and arbitrary jump.

 FYI In order to jump immediately to a channel not on the current
 tuner, you do need to hit select even if smart keys is enabled.

 Also for better DTV friendlyness I changed the channel on the new
 tuner a bit. Instead of changing to a new tuner, then changing the
 channel, the code now simply verifies that the channel is valid for
 that tuner and if it is sets it as the starting channel. This way
 we don't go through the rigmoral of getting a lock on one channel
 only to change to another one a second or two later.
