Comment:

 A whole series of patches to fix scanning on DVB.
 Series applies as follows
 {{{
 1. verbose-print-nit.diff
 2. dvbtable-debug-printing.diff
 3. siparser-other-frequency-handling.diff
 4. channelutil-other-freq-handling.diff
 5. channelutil_dtv_multiplex-updates.diff
 6. channelutil-create-mplexes-fromNIT.diff
 7. dvb_scanning_fixes.diff
 }}}

 1 & 2 are extra debugging printing. Finishes off a few
 methods that were just stubs.

 3 & 4 correct the behaviour of siparser & channelutil
 when the other_frequency descriptor is present in the NIT

 5 corrects the handling of multiplexes where the settings of
 the mplex have been changed.

 6 allows the settings from the NIT to propagate into the mplex
 table without changing the frequency of the mplex. See note 1.

 7 makes sure we wait for all the tables that we need to be able
 to correctly fill in the dtv_multiplex & channel tables.


 Note 1. Some information about the other_frequency descriptors.
 other_frequency descriptors are only found in terrestrial delivery
 descriptors if the other frequency flag is set. In this case the
 other_frequency descriptor just specifies an alternative centre
 frequency and all the other settings are provided in the terrestrial
 delivery descriptors.

 So patch 6 implements the logic, that if the mplex already exists
 in the dtv_multiplex table, then it was put there when we tuned to
 that multiplex previously.

 This needs testing from someone on a mplex which uses the alternate
 frequencies. If you are on Moel y Parc (UK) this is you.
