 This patch fixes a shortcoming in TV::ChangeChannel which presently
 doesn't detect if the new channel is unavailable on the current card due
 to a current recording or other LiveTV access.  When the channel change
 request is sent to the backend it detects the conflict and selects a
 different channel to view (on the requested card) even when there are
 cards available that could tune the requested channel.

 This patch checks the current card for conflicts and if required, switches
 to the next available card that can tune the channel.  It has most utility
 in systems with multiple tuners and in installations where there are
 multiple frontends,
