[mythtv] [PATCH] Automatically set freqid for HDTV

[bill peck]

Its a little more typing on the remote but we could require 5 digits
be entered in the remote if you don't have a hyphen key

channel 21 program 2 would be entered as 02102 on a non hyphen remote.
 or entered as 21-2 on a hyphen remote.

channel 21 ntsc would be entered 02100 on a non hyphen remote, or
entered as 21-0 on a hyphen remote.

or when not entering a full 5 digits from the remote it defaults to
going to just that channel and the first sub-program.

I'm probably missing a big problem with this since I only gave this  a
minutes thought..
