Summary: tv_grab_ch_search: not all channels are available

Initial Comment:
tv_grab_ch_search gets its list of available channels by parsing http://tv.search.ch/programm/. Yet that page does not list all channels that are actually available ( for instance ComedyCentral ). It misses many channels that are useful to german users giving them the complete german tv schedule ( e.g. Sat.1 de instead of Sat.1 ch ).

Two changes are required.
- get_channels() needs to be modified to list all channels by either using a fixed list or by iterating threw http://tv.search.ch/programm/station/detail.php?id=35 ... maybe there is even a better solution
- the channel ids for some of the new channels need to be added to channel_ids
