Changes (by danielk):

  * milestone:  => 0.20

Comment:

 * Fix DVBConfParser::parseConfATSC to understand the standard azap
 channels.conf format as produced by atscscan.
 This is good, the parser was written before atscscan was finished, it
 needs to match the actual output from that program...
  * Do not put the serviceid in the channum column
 Ok, but you must put something unique in the channum column.
  * match channels by callsign
 This will cause too many problems. Can you write something that tries to
 fill in the blank XMLTV id's from the callsigns instead?

 If you can fix the channum column issue (assign consecutive numbers
 starting at 1 if you must, but don't use any numbers already assigned to a
 channel from a previous scan), then I'll apply the first two parts of this
 tonight as bug fixes.

 Otherwise work on this for 0.20, though it might be a better use of your
 time to figure out why the internal QAM scanner isn't working for you.
