Wouldn't it make more sense to allow changing the channel from here
(rtaher than dumping back to the main menu)?  In other words, if a
channel is down, it is currently impossible to change to a working one
without either (a) scheduling a recording to change the channel, or
modifying the mysql db and restarting mythbackend to tune to a
different channel.  I have found this very frustrating in the past.
