[mythtv-users] Live TV channel browse lies!

I'm not a great fan of LiveTV but lately I've been testing things.

Two things I've noticed that seem to be broken in 0.28

 * browsing through channels is not restricted to the source currently
tuned to as it used to be. I have DVB-T and DVB-S tuners that have a lot
of channels in common but some exclusive ones as well. LiveTV allows me
to channel up/down through all channels irrespective of the source but
when I select a channel that is not actually available on the current
source it tunes to a random channel on the current source.

 * using the Menu key in Program Guide normally allows "Watch this
Channel". This option doesn't show if the channel is on a mux not
currently tuned and all tuners are busy. Fair enough. The problem is
using "Back" to get out of this menu which then tries to schedule a
recording that fails (red box round the guide item) and reports a
recording conflict. There is then no way to clear this non-existent
recording failure.

Can anyone else reproduce these issues before I raise a ticket?
