 I propose and have implemented adding functionality to the Network Control
 telnet interface to allow a remote control developer (me for instance) to
 put up a table of what programs are now available to the LiveTV mode. This
 would involve adding 3 queries:

 query liveTV          - List current TV schedule
 query liveTV    CHANID - Query current program for specified channel
 query time            - Query current time on server

 query liveTV returns a list of programs of the form:
 chanid starttime endtime title
 # query liveTV
 2206 2007-09-23T07:30:00 2007-09-23T08:30:00 College Football Final

 Nothing"
 2265 2007-09-23T08:00:00 2007-09-23T09:00:00 Biography -"Meatloaf"

 query liveTV CHANID returns a single program for the specified channel of
 the form:
 chanid starttime endtime title
 # query liveTV 2249
 2249 2007-09-23T08:00:00 2007-09-23T08:30:00 MAD TV



 query liveTV returns the current time on the server to allow the remote
 control to accurately know when to refresh its listing:

 # query time
 2007-09-23T08:30:04
