Comment (by edi@…):

 Hello dekarl,

 sorry for the long delay. I investigated a little further. It seems the
 ONID in the EIT (0x0012) they send is always 0x1. At least `dvbsnoop -nph
 0x12 -n 1000 |grep -i Original_network_ID`  did not show anything else, it
 was alway `Original_network_ID: 1 (0x0001)  [= Astra Satellite Network
 19,2°E | Société Européenne des Satellites]`.

 I don't think that it would be usefull to use the Network_ID, as it is not
 transmitted in the EIT but only in the NIT (0x0010), and there I don't
 completly understand what they transmit:

 The 43xxx-NIDs are in the UPC-Range of 0xA800-0xA8FF
 (http://www.dvbservices.com/identifiers/network_id?page=16 but strangely,
 they got a 826 Country Code which would be GB, not Switzerland). I really
 don't know what these 3 digits NIDs are. They look like satelite NID's,
 but dvbservices.com does not list most of them.

 I got really no idea how we could be more specific now for the Network...
 The sad thing about all this is that until spring 2012 UPC transmitted the
 EPG in a form MythTV could read without any problem, including subtitle,
 cast, season, episode and all... Now I think they want to promote their
 Horizon-Boxes.

 So do you have any Idea how we can fix this in a way it will work for
 everyone? For me, it's not a real problem anymore, as I just apply the
 patch to mythtv before compile, but maybe we find a way to fix this for
 all the other Swiss users. I am willing to compile and test a lot if
 anyone got an idea...
