Sorry for the extremely long time between replies - I'm off list and didn't

your message until today. :)

Cool! That's closer to how a true satellite system would work, but it's
certainly
a lot of work. ;) It would be pretty trivial to catch a moving channel if
we had all
of the info available during a run. I think the NIT-scanning stuff I have
right now
would be a good start. It could be gradually shifted over to being a
definitive source
for channels if that's the way that we decide to go.

Does this offer still stand? I could easily re-write my patch to remove the
dvb_pid
table if you could provide this priority list stuff for me.
