I would guess that your tv_grab_uk_rt grabber script is currrent, but
your XMLTV.pm library is still the old version (or you have multiple
versions installed and perl is using the wrong one). Please search for
all installation of XMLTV.pm and check their versions.

The same question was posted on the xmltv-users list almost a year ago
- they had the 0.5.49 libs installed with a newer release of the
grabber, and were seeing the exact same error. IIRC the cause of the
error is because the new grabber can store multiple star-ratings,
whilst the old versions of the library only support one.
