Comment (by webe3vt@…):

 I have run the code in the debugger and come up with a small patch to make
 mythfrontend play live tv and change channels on the analog and composite
 inputs.  Basically, in the file libs/libmythtv/mythplayer.cpp in the
 function OpenFile for my older hardware and the Hauppauge 2250 card, the
 timeouts need to be a little higher.  I changed
 int timeout = (retries + 1) * 500;
 to
 int timeout = (retries + 1) * 600;

 and

 if (peekTimer.elapsed() > 1000 || bigTimer.elapsed() > timeout)
 to

 if (peekTimer.elapsed() > 1500 || bigTimer.elapsed() > timeout)

 Both of the changes seemed to be necessary to make it work.
 Once I made the changes, livetv worked and changing channels worked for
 both analog and digital.  This small change shouldn't affect anyone else.
