ProgramInfo is only populated for scheduled recordings, the channum
and/or inputname is filled in on channel change and input change events.
Try fixing DVBChannel::SetChannelByString() so that it works
like Channel::SetChannelByString(). i.e. it checks if the channel
is on a different input, and calls SwitchToInput() if it is. The
DVBChannel class didn't support really support multiple inputs
until a few months ago, and I believe we forgot to add this
functionality.
