[mythtv-users] slow dvb lock in .21

 The problem is multiple things.

 1) None of the devs actually uses LiveTV on a regular basis.

 2) None of those that try to reproduce the crazy channel change times
    see the problem. For example channel changes on my setup are 1 second
    for my PVR250/150's and 1.5 seconds on my firewire STB
    used for HD. And a lot of that 1.5 is the time spent actually sending the 
    individual bits of the channel number to the STB. And finally 1-1.5 seconds
    on my ATSC/QAM DVB card accessing some digital channels from my cable co.

    And before anyone asks. Yes this is with a remote frontend, and multiple 
    cards in multiple backends. Tested with both NFS and mythprotocol only.
    No I have not intentionally done anything to "fix" it.


 3) Lack of personal time.


 An an FYI there is 1 change that does make a big difference in change times for some situations (took my msntv'2 down from 9 seconds to 3 years ago when I used them) which I haven't implemented because I frankly haven't had enough time
 nor driving need to do it.
