Sure - no problem - I forgot to mention that these channels are on the 
same multiplex.

I can grab you some logs if you prefer, but mine might be more complex as 
I have dual tuners.

In a nutshell, a menu pop up asking what you want to do, then bails to 
the main menu - I have lost many-a-live recording this way. This wasn't 
the case in 0.24, Myth would "just do it's job and record the show".

The tuner selection has also gotten itself confused, which basically 
means, if you watching liveTV and wanting the record a show on another 
channel (same multiplex) the same menu pops up.

I will log a bug once I have the time.
