[mythtv] If you don't match on PMT....Re-Tune - Possible? -> Better Idea

[Matthew Drobnak]

Ah, now I see why you were interested in my patch. Let me hack around a  
few things
(adding in the NIT Network Parsing, and your patch...and roll everything  
into 1.),
and I'll post it here.

Wihtout a doubt, this stuff would be way better suited to go into the  
signal montior.
I don't have a clue how to use threads though.

I see some stuff in DVBSignalMonitor about the NIT..But not sure how to  
use it.
