No, that is a kludge, and sounds like something for the driver to do, not the receiving program. I think it's better for the system to truly understand what's going on, and handle it through a proper api. Though it did let me write a good thread on the pchdtv message board. "The sky was the colour of MythTV, tuned to a dead channel."
