Well, not *quite* per-show, more like 'per-content'.  He's got a single 
channel (i.e., 'frequency') that broadcasts different 'channels' (i.e., 
content) at different times during the day.  So, for most of the day 
it's a cartoon channel, during which he wants the color/saturation to 
be at one setting.  Then he would like a different setting used during 
the time of the day when it transmits the Playboy channel (uhh... the 
same channel has cartoons AND Playboy??? I don't know whether to be 
excited or disturbed.)

The current solution would be to create 3 different channels with the 
same channum & freqid, but different descriptions and chanid.  Or 
something like that; I *think* it's doable.  But, as to the problem of 
them showing up as three distinct 24-hr-a-day channels in the EPG, 
you're kind of SOL without writing a whole bunch of code.  Be an 
interesting feature, though...
