 Attention needs to be drawn to the bad user experience of
 http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/383253
 which is something that hit all UK users of MythTV with the lineup changes
 that happen regularly on DVB-T here.

 This is a pretty major design flaw, that Myth can't handle lineup changes,
 and keeps storing the old channel data even when it's wrong, and the
 channel scanner has tried to update it. Worse that it can't be corrected
 in the mythtv-setup application, because there's no way to force a run of
 mythfilldatabase from there. Which breaks use of mythtv as a Set Top Box
 system.
