 Hi,

 I'm also looking into this issue and came across your patches. I tried the
 browse_tuners.patch on its own,  (with a few small mods needed to compile
 without the font patch), and it worked well. :)

 There's always concern about additional network traffic and DB load
 generated by the channel checking and input groups checking stuff so I was
 experimenting trying to minimize that.

 Came up with a patch with these changes for the browse_tuners.patch:

 * Use TV::IsTunable(), this eliminates the need for adding
 TV::GetProgramTunerStatus() and   TV::FindAvailableTuner().[[BR]]

 * Add TV::GetChanIDAnyTuner(const QString &chan) to avoid GetChanNum() DB
 query.[[BR]]

 * Reuse the ProgramInfo from  GetNextProgramAnyTuner() to
 TV::BrowseDispInfo(), saves re-getting the program info from the DB.[[BR]]

 * Dropped TV::GetProgramTunerStatus().[[BR]]

 * Constify new functions.[[BR]]
