Description

The Ziggo DVB-C cable network is using the NIT-Other NIT tables to provide the specific details about their transponders for a specific region/city. The NIT-ACTUAL tables show the Network ID of 1000 with the network name Main. It will contain a standard set of transponders but most of them can not be found on the actual dvb-c network as active transponders.

Because the NIT-Other table is crucial for finding the correct transponders on the Ziggo Network it is not possible for Tvheadend to automatically find all valid transponders that are available in a specific region/city

I would be great if tvheadend would detect that there are NIT-OTHER tables available (they are now excluded by dvb_nit_callback). When it finds NIT-Other tables it should show the user a message telling him/her that NIT-Other tables are found and then ask if it should use those tables to find the available transponders.

If the answer is YES then tvheadend can display a list of available NIT-Other networks (Network ID + Network Name). The user can then select his/her network and from that moment on tvheadend should use that network ID and transponder list for all further automatic scanning.

if the answer is NO then tvheadend can continue as it is doing now.

Without this enhancement it is not possble to complete discover all available services and transponders on the Ziggo Network. As far as I know there are more DVB-C networks that use this same method.
