 From xmltv website:
"The tv_grab_uk_rt grabber gets machine-readable data from the radiotimes.com 
site. They would like me to point out that all data is the copyright of the 
Radio Times website (http://www.radiotimes.com/) and the use of this data is 
restricted to personal use only."

So I wouldn't if I were you. Besides, 40Kb per channel for 14 days is tiny. Prob 
less than 1% of what we were grabbing before.

The only problem I found so far is that they release the new days programming 
(14 days ahead) after 6am (after my grabber). I'm gonna have to figure out what 
time it changes and get it then. I'm only obsessed because I can't wait for 
"Little Britain" ;)
