Hi,

the patches were based on the stable branch of MythTV. The SVN version 
has quite some changes in the DVB part, I wanted to have a look at this 
part but didn't come around to it yet (busy busy busy ;-) ). There 
should be some changes in the EIT part which should make parts of the 
patch redundant.
I'm not sure if there is a good possibility for specifying a fixed 
network ID in the SVN branch; this is very important if you want to use 
DVB-C around here. I'll try to take a look a it this weekend and post an 
update, wanted to give the SVN branch a try anyway.

Regds,
Christiaan.
