 At the moment the status page in MythTV shows the maximum endtime
 available in the program table, but I would like to suggest a improvement
 to make it a little more sane, as in some cases, like here in Holland, not
 all channels have the same amount of days in the future published (some
 only 3 days, where others might have 14 days of data ahead).

 I therefore would like the query to be rewritten to the following:

 SELECT
   MIN(t1.per_chanid_endtime) min_endtime,
   MAX(t1.per_chanid_endtime) max_endtime
 FROM (
   SELECT
     chanid,
     MAX(endtime) per_chanid_endtime
   FROM program
   WHERE manualid=0
   GROUP BY chanid
 ) AS t1;

 This will list the minimum endtime as well as the maximum endtime like
 this:

 mysql> SELECT MIN(t1.per_chanid_endtime) min_endtime,
 MAX(t1.per_chanid_endtime) max_endtime FROM ( SELECT chanid, MAX(endtime)
 per_chanid_endtime FROM program WHERE manualid=0 GROUP BY chanid) as t1;
 +---------------------+---------------------+
 | min_endtime         | max_endtime         |
 +---------------------+---------------------+
 | 2009-01-31 00:10:00 | 2009-02-12 09:00:00 |
 +---------------------+---------------------+
 1 row in set (0.12 sec)

 This makes it more obvious (and earlier when there still is no problem) to
 the users whether there might be a problem with their grabber(s) compared
 to listing only the maximum like is done now.

 Since I do not have too much coding skills I am not able to attach a patch
 at the moment, but I beleive changes should be made in MythFrontend as
 well as MythWeb.

 I might be able to supply a patch for MythWeb soonish as I have PHP skills
 but my C skills are a bit rusty.

 Should I raise a seperate issue for each or can we trac that using this
 bug?
