[mythtv] DVB PID DB field

[Ramon Roca]

I'm just impatient to see your work and if I'm able to understand/enhance it
if I can.... ;)

About the EPG, yes, some channels doesn't provide, also XMLTV probably in
some cases has longer term view of the schedule, but less accurate at the
present than EPG... Sounds like the best is to combine as many sources
available whenever is possible right?
