 I've put together a set of patches that allow users to view channels from
 all tuners in the LiveTV browse mode. It has the following features:

 * Enabled via a toggle in TV Settings -> Playback OSD (disabled by
 default)

 * Adds 2 extra attributes to the infoMap for use in the OSD
 1) tuner = "Current Tuner", "Tuner #", or empty if no tuner is available
 for that channel
 2) notuner = "No Tuners Available", or empty if a tuner is
 available for that channel

 * Allows textarea objects in osd.xml (which maps to the OSDTypeText class)
 to support a fcnfont option. This allows you to do things like make the
 program title appear in red if there are no tuners available to watch the
 program.


 I'm attaching 3 patches:

 Patch 1: Implements the fcnfont support for OSD textarea objects.

 Patch 2: Implements the actual tuner browsing featuers.

 Patch 3: Demonstrates how to support the fcnfont in the blueosd theme. I
 am not necessarily proposing that this patch be applied as is...just
 providing an example of how the new UI features can be implemented in a
 theme.
