The problem is that it requires participation from at least one person in each cable market. If someone stops participating, the information becomes outdated and therefore unreliable. There's also the issue that when a cable company moves channels, it may take a day or two to update the master files.
I think that a much better idea would be a program that loads the scan.cache file from GBPVR along with the list of channels from the EPG and has a large preview window. You simply select the channel from the GBPVR scan, view it in the preview window and once you identify it, select it from the list of EPG channels. The program will then update the scan.cache entry with the new name, and insert the tuning string into the database.
This would be much easier to accomplish, more reliable and we have most of the code already between sub, the qam.ini manager and the BDA channel migration tool.
Sounds good. I'll buy 5
