This is whats stopping me swapping from RT grabber to any new grabber be it
Atlas, Guardian or TVGuide.

The RT grabber allows you to manipulate inconsistencies in the data with
all the post processing rules and the automatic generation of +1 channels
and similar.

It would be great if the RT grabber could just be told to get the data from
Atlas (suspect much easier said than done) and keep everything else the
same.

If Atlas could provide the project a key that would also make it easier to
at least try the grabber.  Atlas can always revoke the key at any time if
it is causing them problems so it is not like they are loosing any control.
