I've only breifly looked over it, but it seems like a very sound approach.

Maybe a external epg scanner is in place, but then it needs to coordinate card 
usage with the backend, so probably this is better for now. I'm suspecting 
you are going to make something of a channel sweap (like vdr), or is it all 
located on a special channel/pid?

Since this is going to be hitting the database fairly regulary, at least when 
the full epg is in place, maybe it's better to make a new connection to the 
database?
