Actually I hadn't thought of using fuzzy matching on the map file. Could 
be done but would have to be (yet another!) command line option to cope 
with very similar channel names/ids, e.g., one character different, 
which I'm pretty sure could fool the fuzzy matching. At the moment you 
have complete control of matching MHEG channels to mythtv channels if 
you're using the -f option. Of course with absolute power comes absolute 
responsibility. :)
