Issue Description
==================

Using RaspBMC (running XBMC Frodo) it seems to be impossible to disable the TVHeadend
functionality once it's been switched on.

The built in TVHeadend client was enabled and configured a little while back as part of
project PIDVR, but the back-end is no longer on the network. The plugin was disabled in
XBMC's settings, but kept trying to connect.

Could see regular DNS requests as a result of the Pi trying to get an address for the
backend.

- Marked the TVHeadend add-on as disabled in XBMC (no effect)
- Used the add-ons GUI to uninstall the TVHeadend add-on (no effect, add-on still
present)
- rm'd the TVHeadend XML settings file

The latter stopped the DNS requests, but it looks like it's still trying to run

Despite not being in use, the Pi is showing a load average of 3.19, so it looks like the
attempts to run TVHeadend are using a lot of precious resources.

Need to find a way to fully disable the plugin, short of a full re-install of RaspBMC.

*Info*

When I originally looked into it, I removed the hostname from the xml settings file (
_userdata/addon_data/pvr.hts/settings.xml_ ) and the result was that the Pi started trying
to get an A record for ' '....

That file was later removed which did at least stop the queries.

After some prodding, found what I needed to do. I'd previously disabled Live TV, but much
like the Headend plugin, it kept re-enabling itself.

Changing the addon ID in the Addon's database and then disabling Live TV did the trick


-- BEGIN SNIPPET --

pi@raspbmc:~$ sqlite3 .xbmc/userdataDatabase/Addons15.db
sqlite> update addon set addonID='btest' where addonID='pvr.hts';
sqlite>.exit
pi@raspbmc:~$ reboot

 -- END SNIPPET --

When the system comes back up, it gives a warning about Live TV being enabled but with no
PVR add-ons enabled. 

Hit OK on the notification, and then back out of the dialog it gives you. Followed by

_Settings -> XBMC -> Live TV -> Set Enabled to No_

Reboot for good measure and the addon is no longer filling the logs with crud. Load
average when not in use is back down to 0.4
