Mostly I'm using SD-json with a Schedules Direct account for my guide
data.  I was using the onairguide for Sky Arts because when I added it to
my lineup I got nothing for that channel and assumed I'd fat-fingered
something.

Now I've gone through the setup more carefully I find that running
tv_grab_zz_sdjson fetches the Sky Arts channel information correctly:

  <channel id="I24919.json.schedulesdirect.org">
    <display-name>Sky Arts</display-name>
    <display-name>SKYART1</display-name>
    <display-name>11</display-name>
    <icon src="
https://schedulesdirect-api20141201.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/assets/stationLogos/s24919_dark_360w_270h.png"
width="360" height="270" />
  </channel>

but fetches no programmes matching that channel id.

....so I've gone back to using the onairguide for Sky Arts.

I'm starting to think there's something screwy with Sky's programme data?
