Supporting Behold TV devices in DVBStreamExplorer

Work is in progress to support Behold TV devices in DVBStreamExplorer.  These devices seem interesting offering features not found in most other BDA compatible devices. Unfortunately Behold TV devices don't work with DVBStreamExplorer out of the box. Interaction with proprietary API is required. This is the work currently in progress.
At this point it should be possible to tune on a MUX manually. And then invoke DVB PSI/SI scanning -> Current MUX.
Still pending are the features involving unattended tuning of multiple frequencies.
This includes features such as DVB-T/C MUX finder to create list of MUXes.
It also includes multiple DVB PSI/SI scanning -> DVB-C/T MUX scanning. This feature itself depends on list of MUXes.

You can download Behold TV versions from here if you want to give it a try http://dvbse.com/grIyM6Xq/beta/dvbstreamexplorer4FreeX64.msi and http://dvbse.com/grIyM6Xq/beta/dvbstreamexplorer4ProX64.msi.
Some Behold TV devices support multiple antenna inputs. Make sure to select the correct one where applicable.

After launching DVBStreamExplorer the first time open Source -> settings.
Set 'Tuning lock delay' value to 1000 (ms).
If your Behold TV device supports multiple antenna inputs select the applicable one here.
