[mythtv-users] Looking for Virgin1 12 hour schedule for mythtv

I've just worked out why some of my X-Files recordings off Virgin1 are
failing (recording is just a blank screen with a small blue dot in the
bottom corner).

I think it's because Freeview is only broadcasting Virgin1 from
6pm-6am, while I have 24hour guide data (from tv_grab_uk_rt).  So when
the programme's scheduled during the day mythtv tries to record it and
gets the blank recording.  There must be something being
broadcast(that blue dot) because mythtv thinks the recording was
successful, so doesn't record it again when it's repeated during the
night.

Anyone know if there is a 12hr version of the guide data available
from tv_grab_uk_rt, or if the Freeview EPG guide is correct?  I'm not
currently using EIT because it messes up "shutdown on idle", but I
could look into that again.
