Comment(by Nick Morrott <<knowledgejunkie [at] gmail [dot] com>>):

 The patch from Jeff seems to have done the trick. The only question I now
 have is whether there is any potential issue with which video source
 provides each entry in the channel list?

 My channels have priorities assigned by their video source, so that the
 channels on higher quality video sources (DVB-T for instance) have higher
 priority than those recorded by a lower quality source (my ivtv cards).

 As the patch is not preferentially selecting the 'best' channels, the
 listings data from the lower quality video source can be displayed
 (although on my system common channels across video source share the same
 listings data).

 As the scheduler determines which card to use at record time - and thus
 will prefer a higher priority channel if available, this is probably an
 irrelevance, but I just wanted to raise the issue in case there could be
 any side effects when creating a recording rule using the listings
 information from the lower priority channel.

 Thanks again Jeff,
 Nick
