#3254: Hybrid card : MythSocket timeout on set_channel

 Severity:  medium     |  
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 I use hybrid digital/analog card ASUSTeK P7131 Hybrid. I cannot switch
 from digital
 to analog channel properly, there's MythSocket timeout,
 "SendReceiveStringList(): No response." on frontend, NVP is started sooner
 than it should and crashes with "Unknown error, exiting decoder.".
 Subsequent attempts to run LiveTV usually succeed on a second or more
 likely third try, since the card is usually fully switched and tuned at
 that time. The card is correctly configured as a hybrid
 type as per #2617 instructions.[[BR]]



 The problem is that mythtv is set to use "quick" 7 second timeout on all
 MythSocket
 connections, while SET_CHANNEL operation on my card may take a bit longer
 when switching from digital to analog.
 I patched SET_CHANNEL to use "slow" timeout and I was able to switch
 between channels without any problem.[[BR]]

 I suppose this issue might be similar to #3079 or #1133.



 I am including my take on a patch against svn 13114.
