 I miss the possibility to jump to a channel program list from the EPG
 guide and other lists in mythfrontend.

 The Guide in most themes is horizontal and scrolling can be tedious, so
 this patch offers a call to the channel list (Channel Search), which will
 be normally vertical, showing more information on the screen, with much
 easier scrolling for a specific channel.

 This patch contains:
 Add "Show Channel Search" key/menu to Guide Grid, Program Finder, Upcoming
 Recordings, and all Program Search Lists.
 It takes the current Program and shows the Channel Search at the specific
 channel and program.

 The code for ProgLister does not have code for allowEPG, player and
 embedVideo to track embedding in the player, like


 {{{
 ProgFinder::ProgFinder(MythScreenStack *parentStack, bool allowEPG,
                        TV *player, bool embedVideo)

 }}}

 and


 {{{
 ProgFinder::~ProgFinder()
 ...
     if (m_player && m_allowEPG)
     {
         QString message = QString("PROGFINDER_EXITING");
         qApp->postEvent(m_player, new MythEvent(message));
     }
 }}}


 But ProgLister is called from GuideGrid and ProgFinder when in player
 modus, so they will take care of screen resizing after exiting ProgLister.
 The patch works fine, beware I don't use resizing.
 Is there anything else I should take care of?
