OSD notification of failed tune no longer displayed

Description

With current trunk, I am no longer able to see the "You should have received a channel lock by now" OSD message when a Live TV channel tune fails. On a nonexistent (VOD) or off-air channel, the screen just hangs on black and eventually fails back to the menu, usually with "Video frame buffering failed too many times."

I am suspecting this is part and parcel of the OSD merge or the OSD timeout changes, but I'm setting milestone to .24 as it leaves the user unable to ever start Live TV again without going into mythtv-setup and resetting the starting channel. An ideal solution would restore the proper function of this popup and incorporate some form of Mark Buechler's "Only save the starting channel when it actually tunes" patch from #4807.

This may also be caused by the signal monitor changes, so I may have assigned this in error (but hopefully we can figure out who best to handle it).

(In [26327]) Fix the channel change timeout popup.

I suspect this was broken by r25543 (Signal monitor changes) and if so there are sections of code that need to be stripped out as the behaviour now appears to be triggered by events from the signal monitor and not by the timer directly.

Closes #8906.

As an aside, the message or the themes probably need to be adjusted as presentation is generally a mess when using XVideo.
