IMHO, it would make more sense for the person who wanted it to be easy 
to just improve the mythtv-setup channel scanner (and possibly add SCTE 
interpretation to it or ...).  A huge reason we have so much "less than 
perfect" stuff in MythTV is because people keep insisting on creating 
external workarounds instead of working to improve MythTV...
