I think it's a pretty poor idea to make things that un-human-modifiable, but, 
whatever.  I definately think the analog case (channel number and frequency) 
shouldn't be munged up to work that way.

It doesn't matter if the DVB code depends on it or not -- quite a few of the 
changes, such as the SetOption stuff is totally unrelated.  I'd like things 
like that in separate patches.  Also, you're going to need to make the DVB 
code (library, etc) more of a compile time option.
