MythTV improperly interprets hide_guide

Description
The bit in the Virtual Channel Table called "hide_guide" is used by MythTV to ignore program guide information in the ATSC stream. This isn't correct; the "hide_guide" bit should be used only to conceal program information when the "hidden" bit is also set. If the hidden bit is not set, hide_guide should be ignored. See ATSC standard A/65C
Unfortunately a number of the Philadelphia channels inexplicably set this bit.

Page 34. (Adobe Reader calls it Page 35, but the bottom of the page is marked 34)

mrussotto, can you test the attached patch?
You will need to delete your existing channels and rescan, but it should properly set the use_on_air_guide bit.
I believe the Philly channels are doing the right thing, in general MPEG and ATSC say that undefined bits should be set.

That got the use_on_air_guide bit set but didn't quite do it. I've attached a patch which fixes mpeg/atscstreamdata.cpp as well.
Can you find the page of 65C that specifies this?
