Thanks Robert. It's good to know that SD has that data available, and it just wasn't being presented, which makes me a little more confident of the SD data.

Any ideas why you don't have season/episode numbering (and thus, no xmltv_ns output) for some series, which was available in uk_rt? For example, Videogame Nation?
