Typically the Music Choice channels have video frames
at intervals that can be almost six seconds apart, which
results in various timeouts/failures in applications when
attempting to identify/decode those streams (MythTV
is not the only app that has run into this).

You *may* be able to get the channels to work by
changing the timeouts to be quite a bit longer (at the
potential resulting problem that other tuning/streaming
failures will take that long to decide to give up).

Better fixes regarding stream identification certainly
seem possible, but will depend on someone having
the itch (and the time to scratch it).
