[mythtv] Multiple Favorite Groups (Aka Ticket #199)

I realize that this is to do with the multi-rec patch that was merged in,
but I'm also experiencing this also.  I only have 1 tuner (firewire from my
STB) and when I'm in the guide I see the X's as well and cannot choose a new
channel.  If I choose a new channel channel, shouldn't the tuner unlock and
allow me to change channels?

That means the channels are unavailable (the tuner is in use) - has nothing
to do with this patch.

First of all, thanx for working on this. This is the first time I'm 
testing this patch. Using trunk and your latest patch, when going to
"Program Guide", all channels which are members of currently selected
group are marked with an "X". Is there a reason for this? Also, 
selecting a channel in "Program Guide" does not switch the channel.

Thanx
