Comhem sends the dvb short description also in the extended description.
So you get subtitle as: "country. category. year. "
And description: "title  country. category. year.
rest_of_the_description."
(year is optional)
And somtimes the guide contains text like "american drama from 2004" but in
swedish, so in that case you have the same informatioin in 3 places.

I can deal with this in the fixup function prety easily, i think.

Ok, so that works? I tried that but got only partial guide data.
But maybe that's because mythtv doesn't switch channels and check for guide
data on other channels.
So i might have been wrong in my asumptions.
