I was enjoying using Me-TV, nice and clean; but I got a few problems 
with the newer 0.8.x version, particularly 0.8.10, here's what I am seeing:

1) Every time there is an upgrade to Me-TV, its says my channels are in 
the wrong format and need to be deleted

2) Since 0.8.10 I can't add channels from a channels.conf file. I have 
one for my channels that I used to be able to import in Me-TV each time 
a new version wiped my channels. With this last version, once I pick the 
channels file it lists all the channels fine, but there is only a 
'Cancel' button, there's no 'Add' button!

3) Since 0.8.10 I can only add one channel at a time via a scan. If I go 
to channels editor and select a scan file it scans, finds say 35 
channels. I can select one, add it to the list and click OK. That works, 
the channel is added to the channel guide. If I select more that one 
channel (two different channel names) then they both show up in the 
channels editor, but when you hit OK it reports an error "channel id 
already exists" and only the first channel is added to the channel guide.

So right now the only way to add channels is to do a full scan, add one 
channel, do a full scan add on channel, and repeat. Too hard!
And thanks to (1) I have to do this for every minor upgrade. Makes me 
cry! :-)

I tried quitting Me-TV, totally deleting my ~/.me-tv folder and starting 
over, but the channel adding problems persist...

I guess I should downgrade to a version where the channel editor is 
working, 0.8.6 use to work well I think so I'll try that.

Thanks for your work on Me-TV in general, previous versions have worked 
well.
