That was me about a year ago.

I have written a program that dumps the DVB SI information (PAT/PMT/SDT) into 
an XML file.  This file contains _everything_ in the DVB SI.

An example follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<satellite>
<transponder freq="11508000" srate="27500000" polarity="H" >
<service id="50600" ca="1">
<description tag="0x48" type="1" provider_name="BSkyB" service_name="Fashion 
TV" />
<stream type="2" pid="2310">
</stream>
<stream type="4" pid="2311">
<iso_639 language="eng" type="0" />
</stream>
<stream type="4" pid="2312">
<iso_639 language="fre" type="0" />
</stream>
</service>
</satellite>

I have a program (using libxml from the Gnome project) which parses these 
files and generates a VDR channels.conf.

I'll try and release something later today.  The XML contains far too much 
information (the example above has some elements removed), but it may be 
useful to start.


Dave.
