Keeping the information up to date might be an issue. If you went with a
static table, shipped with each version of MythTV then I forsee problems with
channels changes and new channels. Imagine that a new channel is launched
tommorrow but the next version of Myth isn't due for another few weeks or
months.
At least for those already using xmltv I think it might be an idea to fetch
this information from the internet. The latest information could be added by
a team of volunteers and would be quickly available. It could be cached
locally in a table to avoid heavy strain on the hosting site. Myth could also
ship with the latest information for those without a permanent net
connection.
