Interesting. You're right German and French channels often have
translated titles, while Dutch and Belgian not. xmltv however allows
to add multiple titles in multiple languages. I do not know how Mythtv
and others deal with this. Once I have my new API stable I can see if
I through ttvdb and tmdb could add options in that respect. I already
if encountered do add an "original title".
