[mythtv-users] [App] Desktop EPG

I wanted to have the program guide as a desktop GUI application, to 
access the EPG faster and more conviently. So, I wrote one.

It currently uses a listing grid, not a time-line grid as the built-in 
MythTV and MythWeb EPGs do. It was much faster to implement, but maybe 
it's also faster to use, I'll have to see.

A (for me) important feature is the listing of other airings of the same 
programme, so that I can make a quick choice what to record when I see 
there are conflicts: 2 interesting movies at 20:15 on different 
channels, but one of them is repeated at 2:00, so I record the one movie 
at 20:15 and the other at 2:00. (hm, I just realize, it might be a nifty 
feature to also suggest alternate airings in the conflicts resolution 
dialog.)

It also lists credits.
