If you look at the current "dvbscan" app, you can see that the actual 
backend bit that does the work is already broken out and easily 
abstracted.  So it would just take those files compiling against libmyth 
to get a DB connection and we can quickly write a new "export" module to 
insert the channels found by scanning.  Easy then to keep the code in 
sync with the official tree.  Just needs a frontend to kick it off from 
the setup app though, probably needs a popup box first to choose card, 
then a little list box to pick your dvb scan starting point file and the 
rest is just magic...

What do you think?
