Hello,

I am working with ATSC/QAM and often the information about channels are available in the form of frequency and program number. The usual way to deal with it is to perform scan and store channels in the channels.conf and even the format has the last field which is program number or service id, mplayer never uses it. 
This patch add functionality to allow specify only frequency and program number in the channels.conf, specifying -1 for audio and video pids, in this case mplayer will listen for PAT/PMT tables and discover stream for given program number. I've tested this on ATSC only, so this patch changes ATSC format only but will verify soon on clear QAM as well.

channels.conf for autodiscover should look like this:

TV:189000000:8VSB:-1:-1:1

last 1 specified program number 1 in the TS stream

Thanks
