A minor issue, and possibly one that is already well known, although my search didn't turn up much..

I have a single DVB-T tuner. When a show is scheduled to record on a channel other than the one I'm watching, the channel changes so the recording can be made - fair enough. However, if I leave My TV to go and play some music or something, then return to My TV while the recording is still running, I immediately get the message "All Tuners Are Busy".

I suspect My TV is trying to return to the channel I was previously watching, only to be prevented from doing so because the recording is still taking place on a different channel?

I guess the best thing to do would be for My TV to open on the channel being recorded, with no complaints unless I try to manually change channels before the recording is finished?

    That is the default channel. I believe then, if you try to turn the tv on, it will go to the channel thats currently recording.

    Maybe something like that , i guess we could check that.

    If MP saves the last viewed channel, right, maybe it should save it as well when it is changed for recording.
    But it could change the expected behavior when u are using more than one card, because in that case , recordings are done silently and users usually keep watching the displayed channel, and may would like it to be saved as default when entering my tv the next time.....

    I also get this message when returning to MyTV and it's extremely annoying, I want to watch what I'm recording without having to hit OK every time. Sometimes I get 'Recorder is busy' message when going to MyTV.
    Is there no way to get rid of this check if you're using one tuner?
