Works like a dream!

Thanks again Axel,

Down to 20% CPU usage now!

Also figured out why my backend wasn't getting locks.. I'd told the LiveTV
to avoid conflicts with scheduled recordings, and it was using the tuner
which temporarily didn't have an aerial attached!!!

Though my backend did mysteriously crash in the middle of the night, that
still requires some investigation!
