mythfilldatabase broken for xmltvid containing spaces

[urnest@…]

mythfilldatabase, with xml_tv_grab only uses part of the channel id, up to the first space. e.g. xmltv data entry with

<programme channel="TEN Digital" start="20060520130000 +0000" stop="20060520150000 +0000">

... gives a messages:

 Unknown xmltv channel identifier: TEN
Skipping channel.

... with 'TEN' rather than 'TEN Digital'. It also puts in a new channel, which is probably another bug?:

mysql> select name, chanid, xmltvid from channel where name = 'TEN DIGITAL'; 
    :
| TEN Digital |   1007 | TEN Digital |
| TEN Digital |      4 | TEN Digital |
    :

... I already had 1007 and I now have 4 too.

Here is the patch I use for my guide-data:

xju@xjutv ~/2/mythtv/programs/mythfilldatabase $ svn diff filldata.cpp

complete (short) xmltv data file that triggers problem

Will break other grabbers.

This problem should be fixed in the grabber. According to the xmltv dtd, the channel id cannot contain spaces. It should follow the same syntax as a dns-name.
