[mythtv-users] mythtv forgets to tune in the right channel before recording or livetv

Hi all,

it seems there is a little bug in the recording routine:
if channels of the tuner were changed by another program outside
mythtv, mythtv doesn't recognize it. If the time has come to record a
program, mythtv thinks the channel has never been changed and leaves the
tuner untouched and records from the wrong channel.
The same is with livetv. mythtv doesn't tune in the last choosen
channel before livetv is activated.

I use nxtvepg as an epg collecting daemon and it zapps through the
epg-provider-channels while collecting data. When mythtv tries to
access the tuner it releases the tuner but mythtv thinks the last
choosen (viewed) channel had never changed.
