I agree, but this is an entirely different issue. The question was why 
the ringbuffer is cleared when changing channels while your's has to do 
with the scheduler not being able to adjust to the fact that the tuner 
it wants is occupied while another tuner is still available.

It hasn't happened to me yet, but I guess I'll do some cussin' and 
swearin' when it does ;-)

So yes, in that particular circumstance the message is still usefull 
(although personally I think the scheduler should first see if it can 
just switch the program to the other tuner without any conflicts, but if 
that's too much work I would be just as happy with your suggestion).

Cheers,
