Comment:

 (In [7654]) Closes #507, by giving option of a SLOW scan.

 Basically the problem is that that the DVB drivers used by
 the "Leadtek LR6650" don't report an FE_LOCK in a reasonable
 time, even after they are delivering data to MythTV they are
 telling MythTV that they don't see any data out there...
 This is a serious driver bug. But my experience with DVB
 suggests that serious driver bugs are commonplace so I've added
 the option of allowing the channel scan to ignore the FE_LOCK
 status timeout altogether. This, of course, makes the scan take
 much longer, but it's probably preferable to not getting any
 channels from the scan.

 Users that require this option may experience problems in
 MythTV as well, but MythTV tuning is a little more forgiving
 of broken drivers than the MythTV channel scan so YMMV.
