Because we have
* analog
* DVB (with -S, -T and -C each having different parameters)
* stream (calls external program to fetch MPEG stream, we then need
a channel-specific argument for the program)
* soon hopefully HDTV
* maybe completely others in the future
This means we'd have tables channel, channel_analog, channel_dvb
(assuming we roll all DVB types into one, leaving many columns empty),
channel_stream, channel_hdtv, channel_something.
And, we have the same problem with parameters for the capture card. So,
we'd also have capturecard, capturecard_analog, capturecard_dvb and so on.
See my point? I find a large number of tables or columns pretty messy,
hard to find the way around.
