Sorry, my poor recollection. As a user I don't get to see those screens that 
often...

I can't imagine why. I don't remember anyone else in the UK complaining of this 
so it is probably a configuration problem your end.

Are you *sure* that you have selected "United Kingdom/Republic of Ireland (Radio 
Times)" as your xmltv listings source? (Video sources; first screen after 
selecting (new source) or an existing entry)

You haven't at any point attempted to do a "Fetch channels from listing source"? 
That might cause an indicator to be wrongly set. In the UK you should only ever 
"Scan for channels" one way or another. (Input Connections; first screen on 
selecting a tuner entry)
