All the program info data the backend sends to the frontend is
serialized by the routines I fixed. The old code converted a proper
date to a UNIX time, and so it gets cut off at 1969-12-31. The patch
should fix any problem with original airdates in the frontend.

It was a bit of luck I found it, since all of the rest of the code
correctly uses a QDate type, which is good back to the middle ages!
