I've been running qtv with your patch for a few days and unfortunately noticed 
problems. Because the vbidecoder runs in a seperate thread, it may happen 
that a station name signal is emitted after a channel change with the name of 
the previous channel. The new channel's name will then be overwritten with 
that of the previous one. This is likely to happen when quickly zapping 
through channels - for me, it messed up my channel file.
As much as I like the idea, please don't apply the patch :-(((
