Very nice very nice, or quake3 speaking... impressive!

cough cough... my name is Leandro, a bit weird, but it is my name.

Now if only Isaac decide about your "preset patch". I think to remember he told you to wait after the next stable release (0.9) and it was out now.

  Here you have the first release of the MythChannels app (my #3 in my todos), which is slightly diferent of the previos tunebox from Leonardo.

  see/get it from here http://www.elserrat.com/MythTV/MythChannels/index.html

  Now, supports analog TV, but has been redesigned to be a solid foundation for supporting new types of channels, at this point, I can vision this ones:

  Per Source:
  -Analog
      Antenna
      Composite
      S-VHS
  -Digital
      DVB-s
      DVB-c
      DVB-t
      DV Firewire?
  Virtaul channels/groups
      User categorized channel lists
      Virtual personal channels (fill the program info with a backround of choice between existing channels or recordings, and then add program favorites)
      
  So, thowsands of channels, that's I've done it with a tree navigation. More convenient. To work with the virtual ones, might be interesting to reuse the new rankings module, I've to look at it.

  Although is a mythtv setup app, I've developed it as a plugin, so it's safe, no intrusive to the existing code. The analog stuff is very much usable.

  Why is it important?
  -Sets the basis for expanding mythtv to new sources/channels.
  -XMLTV is not longer a requirement.


  To install:
  -requires the channel preset patch applied that I've submitted many weeks ago, I haven't seen it on the CVS, any problem with this? This stuff makes no sense without it.
  -apply the diff, it also includes a minor patch to manualschedule and a few more translations to the xml menus.
  -uncompress the tar at mythtv/programs/mythchannels directory.

  Enjoy.

  As always, feedback welcome-
