Fw: [mythtv] [PATCH] DVB support

[Ben Bucksch]

Ramon, Edward,

thanks for  your kind responses. And thanks Ramon to commit to writing 
an importer. That somewhat shifts off some of the work from me, 
something I desperately need atm.

Everything that you are technically able to receive (unless I missed 
something in the implementation).
"Rights" is something you are responsible for :-).

Fine with me.

Note that I am running mythfilldatabase on a computer without any TV 
hardware, and I don't like it when the programm just changes my channels 
setup without me asking for it (I may have removed some channels or 
altered them etc.), so I'd personally prefer to have the option to keep 
that separate from filling in EPG data (what runs when).

BTW, Ramon, do you have a diseqc?

Personally, I consider this low-priority, given that we have XMLTV 
grabbers using the Internet for most countries, and maybe there are 
already DVB feed -> XMLTV converters out there.

Great, thanks! :-)
