If I change to a channel that is not transmitting (which at 2:20am appears to be the case with FIVER, even though the EPG shows "Teleshopping") MP locks up (IE won't respond to any buttons) for about 30 seconds before displaying a timeshifting error. Also, if I select Yes to the "switch to previous channel" prompt, it just throws me back into the EPG on channel 1.

I notice from the tvserver_tv.log that MP waits 15 seconds before deciding to give up as it can't find an audio signal for FIVER and then repeats the process with my second tuner. Wouldn't it be more user-friendly to just give up after a couple of seconds (maybe only trying the one tuner) and display a "No signal" message and allow the user to just continue channel surfing or call up the EPG if they choose to?
