Yes: 50059. (I'm in Belgium and we only get the Beeb here). And my last
overnight run did yield data for that channel.

Note that a little while ago I had an issue whereby the SDJSON XMLTV
grabber failed before downloading all data. I first reported this to SD,
and Robert suggested decreasing the chunk size. (This required a simple
patch to the grabber as this isn't configurable).

So decreasing the chunk size from 5000 to 250 made it work.

Robert then suggested reporting the matter to the XMLTV project which I
did here:

https://github.com/XMLTV/xmltv/issues/137

However the problem disappeared before we were able to diagnose its
cause. The (unpatched) grabber is now once again working here.
