--------------------------+----------------------------------
 With an windows frontend (WindowXP-SP3) in liveTV if I start the program
 guide with shortcut s (configured to show liveTV in the small window)
 liveTV stops for several seconds and audio is repeated that time in an
 endless loop (it's annoying because I've already setup the big audio-
 buffer, without it's worse, also in starting PIP).
 And this behaviour repeats at every move in program-guidegrid in vertical
 order (also on line up/down without move of the channels).
 I've done some investigation and saw,that the long interruptions were
 caused by the many myth-protocal requests for the free-recorders from
 mythbackend and that during this requests reading from the ringbuffer
 stops.
 So I decided to write a patch that caches the free-recorders from the
 backend in an vector at entering the liveTV-program guide because during
 the limited time the program guide displays the possibility the free-
 recorders change is low.
 With that workaround liveTV-programGuide shows up and is movable without
 interruptions in the ongoing program.

 So now I provide the patch. Perhaps it could be helpful for some other
 people.
