Comment:

 I am including a patch which fixes this in a more appropriate manner.  It
 still does not use the channelnames[] map the way it was originally
 intended, but I'm not sure it makes sense with respect to a diseqc switch.
 Basically, to use the map as expected, the dvbchannel struct would need to
 include cardinputid somewhere, which would be used as the index into
 channelnames[].  However, if you need to do that, you might as well just
 get the actual inputname and use that directly (which is what I've done).
 It all comes down to the fact that there is no way to gaurantee a 1:1
 mapping between a switch <port,pos> pair and its inputname (though in
 theory they would be unique).

 If you'd prefer a different manner, let me know, but everything else I
 tried got pretty complex.  I suppose it would make sense to index off of
 cardinputid if we wanted to support external channel changes, and that
 would be easy enough to do, but the method I chose resulted in the minimal
 amount of code changes.
