Small mod for VTi on 0.8.5

[oottppxx]

When using placeholder services, the bouquet lists appears all wonky on VTi (14.0.5 tested), with <n/a> showing up on the list for each placeholder service and making you scroll around. I've done this against Suls 0.8.5, but probably works for others if applied there. It doesn't seem to impact EPG at all; there's some desync with the channel numbers vs what's show, but not sure if that's a VTi bug that was already present (don't really use this distro much).

Replace the PLACEHOLDER_SERVICE=... line with the following:
try:
with open('/etc/vtiversion.info') as f:
PLACEHOLDER_SERVICE = '#'
except:
PLACEHOLDER_SERVICE = '#SERVICE 1:832:d:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:'

I suspect the same issue is present in BlackHole and OpenBlackHole, but didn't test those (and the test would need to be different, maybe based on some basic parsing of /etc/image-version or so; as I didn't install those images and wasn't sure, I stuck with the particulars of VTi).

Thanks.
Instead of testing for different image version I may just put in a option to disable placeholder use

No problem. Yes, having an option to remove place holders would work as well.

I actually don't use VTi, but was testing it for something else. At the moment that box even has BlackHole3.0.9 (yet more tests for something I don't recall), so I'd be happy to test and see how it goes there, if you have an updated version.
