I've been thinking about some of the stuff that James told me, and I looked into it; it would be relatively easy to remove the whole "TV_CHANNELS" thing altogether and use XMLTV natively. It would make installation much easier, and give us flexibility when they make changes.
I'm going to commit some code that outputs a working TV_CHANNEL configuration (that doesn't need to be edited) in a moment, and we could cache that data unless the TV.xml changes, then we regenerate it, just like when we repickle it. The reason we need to require 0.5.15 is that older versions don't provide a "tuner id" field and we'd have to extract it. The new one has a field for the tuner channel so we can use it. We need to require 0.5.15 because: a) Older versions generate different XML b) Often they don't work anyway, because the sites they scrape have changed. We could still ALLOW people to use old versions if they have a non-null TV_CHANNELS but then it would lead to problems when things change. Better to just make the change now.
