[mythtv] channels.conf-import

[Julian Scheel]

Hi all,

this is my first post to mythtv-lists. I looked through the sources of mythtv 
for some time now and already did some small hacks for my personal use...

Now I'd like to contribute my first part - I'm working on a 
channels.conf-import-module for DVB-cards. I already have a working parser. 
Now it comes to the question what's the best way to interact with the user 
and write it into the database.

I thought of a solution like this:
Parsing the channels.conf and showing all the channels in a list - For example 
a UIListBtnType. In this list you can check on/off which channels you'd like 
to use, and over a menu it should give you the ability to select a 
channel-number and maybe a callsign and xmltv-id.

Then it comes to writing it to the database. Should I use direct SQL-queries, 
or is there any standardized interface for that, which I haven't found yet?

What do you think of this considerations?

Best regards,
Julian
