That sounds interesting, I'll have to have a look.  It's a shame that
Radio times don't produce +1 listings.

I'm assuming that you are just taking the normal listings and adding an
hour - HOWEVER, I think you should be a bit careful with this, because
I've noticed a few times on (eg ITV+1 type channels) a screen saying "we
cannot re-broadcast this program for legal reasons".  It would be quite
annoying if MythTV noticed it was on an hour later on the +1 channel and
rescheduled for some reason, but all you got was a recording of their
legal blurb screen!
