Comment (by danielk):

 (In [11520]) Refs #2541. Fixes the segfault when the we fail to set up a
 signal monitor for a digital channel.

 The DTVRecorders require a stream data instance from the DTVSignalMonitor
 so if we fail to get
 this we segfault. This patch prevents us from starting up the recorder if
 we fail to set up
 the signal monitor. This should only happen if we have filled our channel
 database with analog
 channels so I haven't added any on screen error messages, just messages
 from the backend.

 The HDHRRecorder still can only tune true ATSC channels, whether they be
 over 8-VSB or QAM,
 another changeset will follow which allows tuning raw MPEG channels.
