Smells ugly..?
If a card is used for a recording, cDevice::GetDevice don't take it.
But in the loop to find the device:

                    for (int i = 0; i < cDevice::NumDevices();

++i) {
...
...
                            cDevice *dev = cDevice::GetDevice(i);
                            if (dev->ProvidesChannel(current, 0)

&& dev != device) { newdev = dev;
...
...
                                    break;
                            }

I don't see how GetDevice could not "take" a device being used for
recording since we're accessing it with an index number
0..(NumDevices-1) and not asking by channel + priority. And if GetDevice
were to return NULL here for a device being used for recording, this
would segfault on the dev->ProvidesChannel(...) call.
So I think it *will* grab the first device (by index) that a) can serve
this channel b) is not used for live tv.
