Comment(by Loki):

 Is it possible while working on the channelscanner to include a option to
 import channels without MythTV checking if the channels are correct? I'm
 basicly suggesting a "raw import" function besides the existing "checked
 imported function".

 I'm asking because currently MythTV is checking the imported DVB channels
 following the DVB standard stricly and with this it's not possible to
 import correct channels when your cableprovider is using a single network
 id to broadcast channel information.

 Of course it would be great if the import function can be fixed to make
 automaticly scanning work as well,  but this is propably a lot more work.
 I can setup up a test machine if needed for this.

 I'm currently adding new chapters about DVB-s/c/t to the official en wiki
 based manual. Can you let me know if any of this will be build/fixed? I
 like to include it in the manual. (you can post it on my personal page or
 discuss it on the myth-dev mailing list). At this moment i'm importing the
 channel information directly into the database, but this is not something
 i'm willing to suggest in a manual.
