Bug Description
After adding a few Favorites, all of a sudden, all entries in the program grid became marked as favorites. After some struggling to get rid of the unwanted Favorites, I right clicked on an (any) entry in the guide and selected to remove the associated favorite status. The program then said it was removing a "Nul" Favorite. When it did that, all the entries in the guide gride lost their favorite status and were returned to normal.
Evidentally, The program had allowed me to accidentally create a "Nul" Favorite, which was not visable in the Favorites list and which was interpreted by the program as a "wild card", causing all entries in the grid to become marked favorites. After removing the Nul Favorite, everthing became normal again and I was able to create a usuable list of Favorites.
This is evidence of the need of a fix in the program module which creates Favorites, to prevent the creation of Nul Favorites.
I am not sure exactly what I did to cause the creation of a nul record, but just before it happened, I think I may have either left edit screen without any data entered or somehow canceled the screen in such a way as to save a nul record.

The following patch corrects the missing entry in the Favourites List dialog when a "nul" favourite is created. The resulting favourite was left out previously, this shows up as "All Programs" or the foreign language equivalent.
