Summary: tv_grab_za errors

Initial Comment:
when running the latest nightly build I get the follow error:

Initialising cookies
getting listings
cannot look up 'Crime & Investigation' in map at /usr/bin/tv_grab_za line 395.

This occurs on various channels. The problem is due to DSTV calling the channels different names.

Editing tv_grab_za and inserting the below  and recompiling solves the problem:

my %dstvchannelfixups = (
    'CNN International' => 'CNN',
    'SABC 1' => 'SABC1',
    'SABC 2' => 'SABC2',
    'SABC 3' => 'SABC3',
    'MagicWorld' => 'Magic World',
    'Crime & Investigation Network' => 'Crime & Investigation',
    'E! Entertainment Television' => 'E',
    'Deutsche Welle' => 'Deutchse Welle',
    'SuperSport MaXimo 1' => 'SuperSport Maximo',
    'SONY' => 'Sony Entertainment');

With the above error can the code be changed so that it skips the incorrectly named instead if dying with a error? (eg Soweto TV is in the channel list but not on the DSTV site so the application dies when it tries to pull data for that channel. I know I could comment it out but it would be better if the error was handled.
