[mythtv-users] Using tv_grab_* under OpenSuSE 11.2

I've been running MythTV for a while now without problem, using 5 * USB
DVB tuners and EIT for my programme info.

I'm now looking to use one of the programme grabbers instead so that I
can add my SKY Satellite TV to the MythTV setup, but I hit two main
problems:

1)   The only UK grabber installed as part of the packages is
tv_grab_uk_bleb, which obviously hasn't defined it's dependencies too
well, as it complains about missing some PERL modules, and when I
install these manually, it barfs when trying to download the info.
2)   The apparent default grabber for the UK tv_grab_uk_rt isn't
included in the packages, and when I tried compiling it myself I ran
into dependency hell.

So basically, has anyone out there had any success with UK grabbers on
OpenSuSE 11.2?

I'm using packman for my MythTV packages (currently mythbackend version:
0.21.20080304-1).

I have also mentioned it to the packager, and he's looking into it also.

Cheers
Gordon
