I use vdr myself. Scan with w_scan, scans PMT and saves the language. Filter
the channels.conf based on language.

3sat;upc:490000:C0M256:C:6900:336=2:337=deu at 3,338=mis at 3,339=mul at 3;347=deu at 10
6:366;357=deu:0:61:1:78:0

egrep "=deu|=eng" channels.conf > consolidated.channels.conf. Add missing
ones.

For mythtv:
Update db: update channel set visible = 0;
Use awk to get position 10 for the serviced ("61").
cat consolidated.channels.conf | awk -F : '{ print "update channel set
visible = 1 where serviced = " $10 ";" }'
run generated sql script
