This is like there for a reason: what Kaffeine locks when a record is happening
is the transponder, not the channel. In other words, if you have multiple
channels at the same transponder, you can be recording one channel while
watching another one, even with just one card. You may, at any moment, record
the channel you're watching too, having multiple channels being recorded at the
 same time, one via instant record and another one via "normal" record. Also,
one may want to use instant record just to record a particularly interesting
part of the content on a separate file.

Granted, some extra logic could be added there to block recording a channel
that it is being recorded already, but that would require some work, IMHO with
very little benefit.
