It doesn't think you have a tuner card, then. The 'in-use' status of a tuner
card isn't stored anywhere at all. Since you're using CVS, you should be
able to go in and see why GetFreeRecorder is failing in
programs/mythbackend/mainserver.cpp.

It is not a design flaw. You're ignoring the fact that mythtv supports
multiple tuner cards. It would have to present a list of currently recording
programs for the user to select, and the watch recordings screen does just
that. No sense in duplicating functionality.
