The workaround I posted now flags known bad channels in the XMLTV
config locally. Where required, XMLTVIDs have also been moved from
empty listings files (in the case of Nat Geo Wild) to newly-added good
listings, so the update should neither affect your current listings
retrieval (instead it should provide more listings where you may have
not previously received them) or affect your MythTV configuration and
scheduling.

If you do notice any problems, let me know and I'll get them sorted.
