I'm traveling sporadically over the next few weeks, so my time is limited.

I will take a look at merging the HDTV/DVB channel data, which will
probably also involve getting the data from PSIP, and matching up those
channels with what we get from Zap2it.

I took a brief look at #7 a while back... turns out much of this info is
also in the AC3 data itself but is not passed through by the decoder,
even if using software decoding.  So getting it from PSIP or DVB is
probably easier.

I also still owe the project a rework of the realtime priority stuff
that works with kernels that don't allow threads to have a different
EUID, and isn't as much of a security risk.
