(I'm not the OP, but I'm also looking forward to get this patch
included in trunk)

Much appreciated, Robert...

I personally don't have the knowledge atm, but hopefully in a year or
two...but I can test patches and provide feedback, which I gladly do
:)

I'm wondering, wouldn't it be best to have a patch like this included
in trunk rather sooner than later? I mean, a lot of people depends on
it and in this thread alone we're several users who are actively
applying this patch and haven't (I can of course only speak for
myself) had any issues with it. So it appears to be working from at
least a few users perspectives...which I suppose would make it a
candidate for trunk, if coding style and quality is ok?

Once it hits trunk there'll be a much larger userbase who can provide
feedback. I suppose we're all just afraid that this will not make it
for 0.23, which potentially in my case, would result in another ~6
months until 0.24 gets released, with only half of the public TV
channels working.

Thanks

Best Regards
