I am thinking that code can be re-used pretty easily.. It might just be in the
DBInserts I need to use the QString.utf8() (This would be in
SIScan::UpdateServicesInDB()), the Event inserts are like this.. Ifs you can
patch this up and test it out quickly (Since I only have access to English text
its tough to know if I got it) it would be greatly appreciated..

Because I didn't know what the official name was when I wrote the code :)

Oh then the ParseCADescriptor should be added to the PMT descriptor parsing
(none of the PMT Descriptors are supported yet,but what is necessary for the
loop is there), and another obejct should be added to the PMTObject, and one
addition to the GetCAPID() function, and problem is solved.. If you want to do
this, and test it let me know that would  be great..   This would be in
siparser.cpp/h and the object definitions would be in sitypes.h..

Any of these changes would be very helpful, and I don't have much way of testing
these.. (I only found the utf8 stuff for events because of a few french channels
I could get access to, but that was by dumb luck and nothing else..)
