grabbing is not locking the card, so you cant tune.
grabbing is stopped if the user wants to tune a channel.
showing a card which grabds epg in the TV-Streams dialog doesnt make any sense since you cant tune it, and its not a stream

I'm not sure if it is a good idea to change the function of the "ok"-button in fullscreen tv.
Maybe you have also a good idea how to make the "linked" channels a little bit easier to access.
Keep up the good work. I would love to see much of this concepts in MP.

hmm... i have to think about that again......
*edit 1*
when you are watching Tv in FullScreen then,
- back button (ESC) --- brings you back to the MyTV Homescreen
- Okay (enter) --- opens mini-epg and switches between channels and switches between Channels and TV-Streams view
- info button --- first time pressed shows timeline and EPG info, 2nd time pressed shows the ChannelProperties which also include the subchannels section
So it would stay pretty simmilar to the current, well working mapping
*edit 2* Tuning a sub-channel:
Some PayTV providers use a "portal channel" from where you are able to select a sub-channel you want to view.
the tv-server is supporting that with the "Linkage scanner"
currently you select the subchannel from the channel properties dialog box, i think that could be improved.
- In miniepg select the "Portal Channel" and tune it
- as soon as the channel was tuned you see a window which displayes the available sub-channel
- you can select a subchannel or close the window and watch the portal channel
- to restore the subchannels list, press"okay" 2 times. which opens the channel selection window and "tunes" the channel again
