Such a patch was provided to MythWeb some time ago, I believe it was
going to be integrated.   The patch didn't quite do what you want as
it would group all the showings together to give a list of times.  Also
showings on different channels were done independently because (especially
in the case of digital TV vs. regular) you proabably have a preference.
