Maybe someone could write a script that nightly scans the channels,
using scte65scan, and compares to the current settings.  If there is a
change, it could alert you via email.  The biggest problem I see with
this method, is that I was required to stop mythbackend to do the
scan.  Stopping mythbackend at an arbitrary time each night, may cause
a recording to be missed.
