The makeequiv.sh bash script can be used to generate an eepg.equiv
file based on SID matching. You may optionally require channel name
matching as well.

    makeequiv.sh [channels.conf] [listsources|source to map epg from] <matchname>

EXAMPES:
    makequiv.sh /video/channels.conf listsources
    * shows a list of all available sources in channels.conf
    
     makeequiv.sh /video/channels.conf S72.7W
     * map epg from S72.7W channels based on SID match
      
     makeequiv.sh /video/channels.conf S72.7W matchname
     * map epg from S72.7W channels based on SID and channel name match
