[mythtv] Use callsign for scheduling

[Simon Kenyon]

if you are making changes to the table could i ask that you make at least one 
field long enough to contain the longest name that i get from tv_grab_uk_rt 
and that is "BBC 1 (Northern Ireland)" which is 24 characters long. at the 
moment the fields are 20 long which gets truncated and it looks crap.

hanks for all your hard work
