[mythtv-users] channel switching only by hand, not when recording

[anders smith]

On that note I'd like to mention that it would be intuitive to be given 
the "stop recording or change channel" option when watching a program 
that is being recorded and you try to change channel.

It would be consistent with the systems behavior when it asks to 
channel or cancel recording, prior to beginning a new recording when 
you are watching livetv.

This is also the behavior of my tivo box btw.
