tvheadend patch for grabber(s?) + slow tuner

[nono]

Hello

here is attached a simple mod of systemd's unit for launching tvheadend

I added the redirects for stdin and stdout to the arbitrary tty10  (9 is used by debug-shell.service).

With that, the grabber "tv_grab_fr_kazer" finally works correctly (on my cubox).



I also added another instruction :

"ExecStartPre= -/bin/sleep 30"

That's here for many reasons :
- without that, my tv tuner usb dvb-stick has 90% chances of not beeing detected because not fully initialized when tvheadend has started
- it allows (I hope) enough time for XBMC to start
- Tvheadend starts the tv_grab_* as soon as it has launched. It delays it, so that other more important things can load and have ressources, because on the cubox the grabbing takes :
        - 4 minutes
        - 70% cpu


let me know what you think of it !

this one was already discussed and was rejected. (right now it' s commited)
I have the exact same problem on i386 with a pci card. The problem was
for me the load of firmware. (and i have the exact same problem on ubuntu)
and i have done the same thing : added a timer. (40 s)
now maybe adding a script that waits for a frontend before really start
tvheadend could be a solution...

Huuu ok. how do we handle that ? Do I undo the timer and  "hg commit" ? Do you ?
