[mythtv] Too much EPG data

Ha! Thanks for that bit of info. I had taken a look at the grabber to 
have it include the extra info just to find out that the code was 
already there. I hadn't seen the --slow option though.

The only change I want to make now is to change to script to make it use 
the list of channels from the search page because that dropdown _does_ 
actually contain all the channels. But it seems I don't get how Perl's 
HTML parsing package works because I couldn't get it to work. Maybe 
after I'm back from holidays (or maybe someone else? :-)

PS:  --slow? Even slower than it already is??? Auch
