Hi Robert

[root at gobbla ~]# rpm -qa | grep xmltv
xmltv-0.5.56-80.fc12.noarch
xmltv-gui-0.5.56-80.fc12.noarch
xmltv-grabbers-0.5.56-80.fc12.noarch

[root at gobbla ~]# locate tv_grab_uk_rt
/usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt
/usr/share/man/man1/tv_grab_uk_rt.1.gz
/usr/share/xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt
/usr/share/xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt/channel_ids
/usr/share/xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt/channels_platforms
/usr/share/xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt/prog_titles_to_process
/usr/share/xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt/regional_channels_by_postcode
/usr/share/xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt/utf8_fixups

So that doesn't look like the problem. This is also on an F12 install, 
so the xmltv package from atrpms is pretty much the only version that 
has ever been installed.

cheers
