Hi everybody,
I was getting fed up with the --manual input of mythfilldatabase (almost
all my 30+ channels need finetuning, "channels" are not used here: our
distributors just use about any frequency, and as they differ in every city
there is no general internet resource for a grabber).
What was especially frustrating that I tuned xawtv by hand to receive all
those channels, based on channelnummers plus finetuning. So I wrote this
tiny tool (patch for mythfilldatabase.cpp) to parse the xawtvrc or ~/.xawtv
files with channelinfo.
It's a bit primitive, you just can use 1 input of the card, while xawtv
supports channels defined for all inputs. But I use it only for TV, so if
anybody needs more inputs, write another patch :-)
The --help option explains what do do.

PS: Still amazes me how television is used in different ways in different
countries. Doesn't stop with PAL/NTSC at all...
