Bug Description

MythTV Frontend becomes unresponsive, if you switch to a TV channel that does not have broadcast.

After a while, program returns to main menu, and a dialog tells: "Error opening jump program file buffer". If I try to watch TV again, a dialog tells: "All tuners are currently busy." Program responds to commands very slowly. In terminal I see rows like

2017-09-20 19:44:09.149999 I MythCoreContext::ConnectCommandSocket(): Connecting to backend server: 192.168.100.51:6543 (try 1 of 1)
2017-09-20 19:44:16.180626 E MythSocket(7f3c14020c70:51): ReadStringList: Error, timed out after 7000 ms.
2017-09-20 19:44:16.181125 C Protocol version check failure.
   The response to MYTH_PROTO_VERSION was empty.
   This happens when the backend is too busy to respond,
   or has deadlocked due to bugs or hardware failure.

Workaround:
I have to kill frontend and run
sudo service mythtv-backend restart
in server to get it work again.
