Hi Nick,

Looks like Central.carlton.com has been removed and in it's place 
central.itv1.co.uk is there, I replace the old with the new in the 
configfile, /home/mythtv/.mythtv/On\ Air.xmltv, the input file to 
tv_grab_uk_rt, the tv information was downloaded, but not inserted into the 
database...

Is this something I can fix simply ??
