Yes - started on Friday, I think. My (ultra horrible) kludge was to make the 
following change to /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt:


351:                    s/—/--/g;
352:                    s/…/.../g;
353:>>ADD        s/\000\000/../g;
354:                   decode_entities $_;

Seemed to fix it up. It's a Radio Times data corruption issue, but I guess 
with this workaround in place, it'll only be a week or so before it falls out 
of the schedules, and I can back the kludge out.

Cheers,

Neil
