Here is a channels.conf typical of a dvb-s user that receives both:
Astra 19.2e and Hotbird 13e. I hope that it helps you test Me-TV when
using big lists.

Status in Me TV, it's TV for me computer: New

Bug description:
Ubuntu 8.10 development version
Me-TV 0.5.33
DVB-S card 

When using dvb-s, Astra 19.2 east and Hotbird 13e are two satellite positions that are widely used in Western Europe. Each of these satellites broadcasts over 1000 channels.

Me-Tv becomes quite unresponsive when using a huge channel-list; it takes very long to start up; opening the EPG takes very long,... 

A work around for the user is to only keep the few channels that are of interest to him in the channel list; but I hope that it will be possible to really speed up the channel handling. (Maybe that it will require separating channel switching and epg)
