[Approved] Fix for possible EPG bug (1 Viewer)

[gloomyandy]

Hi,
I posted the details of the problem and my changes in this thread:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-development-no-feature-request-here-48/possible-epg-bug-69583/
It was suggested that I go ahead and submit the patch. So here it is...

Basically it seems to me that in some circumstances a transponder is not being marked as no longer in use. This eventually results in all transponders becomming busy and the epg grab then fails to take place. This patch sets the current transponder to no longer be in use when the grab has been completed. I suspect that many people do not see this problem as other events (like suspend/resume and running the TV server control application), seem to clean up the state, but if like me you run Mediaportal all of the time then after a short while you no longer get epg grabs.

Note the patch is against the 1.0.2 source base (this is the only one I can test against), but no changes seem to have been made in this area in the current svn sources, I hope this is ok..

Let me know if you need any more information.

Andy
