    When trying to change a channel and no free card available happens, TV doesn't return for the last channel being watched.


    Steps to reproduce on a dual tuner environment:
    - Open MediaClient1.
    - Tune on Channel A.
    - Open MeduaClient2.
    - Tune on Channel A on MediaClient2. System should use the current stream from MediaClient1.
    - Go to fullscreen TV on MediaClient2.
    - Tune Channel B on MediaClient2.
    - Start recording Channel B on MediaClient2.
    - On Mediaclient2, try to change to Channel C. An error message should appear telling that No free Card is available (2 tuner setup).
    - MediaClient2 will then return to Channel A, not Channel B that was the one being whatched when the channel change was requested.


    Expected behavior: User should receive the no free card available message and keep whatching whatever he is watching. No channel change should occur.

    I'll be attaching logs in the coming days. I'am traveling now and can't access the server to reproduce the error and generate the logs.
