as it doesn't use the xmltv format for input, it really has little to do 
with xmltv. all right, it outputs xmltv format, but that is just so 
mythfilldatabase can read the data. would an alternative solution be to 
modify mythfilldatabase or produce a similar tool which read bleb 
directly and put it in the database?
in any case, thanks for doing this. it was badly needed. the bbc are 
surely going to pull the plug in tv_grab_uk_rt once they get wind of it.
