Certainly channelinput at TVRec::CheckChannel wasn't initialized. Forcing to
DVB gets through this point.... My Nexus has only DVB as input... makes
sense to support several inputs from DVB cards?

Umm... that breaks my idea of personal "virtual" channels.. those aren't
related to videosources (it's source should be other channels...). I'll
think on this. Also videosources looks like has been contrstructed for xmltv
support. DVB channels don't have to use xmltv (although could). In many
cases the program listings should be able to be filled using the epg info
that comes within the stream.... Maybe a good idea could to allow to create
a videosource without any grabber at all?

BTW, I'm also thinking for creating a cannelslists / channelslistmembers
master detail tables in order to allow to create user lists with groups of
the existing channels (i.e. Sports, News, Cine, Premier, Canal+ etc...). If
you load hundreds on channels... Then, if a user selects an active list,
instead of zapping all the channels, will do with a join between
channelslists and channels, so then will do only with a subset of the
channels. Changing between active list might be done using a keybinding...
Doesn't it makes sense?

Ramon.
