Hi Duncan,

I did some research about this part ... and I completely follow you, 
that's too much for me :-)

No, the part I just change (I'll send that tomorrow, I think will try 
some cleanup before) is not here, but in channels.py.

The changes are :
In the current channels.cfg, if you ask for a physical channel with more 
than one entry, channels.py give you always the latest line in TV_CHANNELS.
I didn't notice that at the beginning, because I mostly watch TV in the 
evening :-)
This has a major drawback : Even if you schedule a record from the 
former line, the title of the recorded show is the title of the program 
from the latest tv_show.
In fact, I wonder if the time schedule (the third field -that is, 
starting from 0, the field [3]- in  TV_CHANNELS) is in use somewhere ?  
I wasn't able to find any use in the code (did some brutal grep for 
that, maybe not the best way !).

Others troubles are maybe only related to the ivtv_xine_tv plugins, but 
were all corrected also in channels.cfg.
It was not possible to 'chan_down' a channel with more than one line in 
TV_CHANNELS. The system selects the same channel ever and ever.
It was very hard to use the 'direct channel' selection. Saying I want to 
show MTV, witch is on channel 18 on all TV at home, I have to remember 
that before MTV, I have 3 channels with two lines, so I have to select 
21 ....

These points are corrected (at least for me) anyone willing to correct 
the display part for the program  :-) ?

But anyway, I would know if this is a 'general' problem or if I'm 
(nearly) alone with that kind of trouble.

Thanks,
Pascal
