One of the big strengths of myth is the ability to find an available 
tuner for a given channel for scheduled recordings. I am sure the 
question has come up many times before, but given the recent rants, aehm 
constructive criticisms, on usability - wouldn't it be great if myth 
automatically found an available tuner when I direct it to switch 
channels? At least for me this is the number one reason why I don't use 
myth to watch live (near real-time) tv.

Given the change in behavior between .20 and .21 the must have been a 
conscious decision somewhere. Do you know if further change is in the 
cards (sorry couldn't resist the pun)?
