Stephen,

Yes, I was thinking of dropping the creator an email.  I think I've
remembered all of the ones that were wrong/missing:

tsod.plus-1.freeview.dave.uktv.co.uk - not entered for Dave ja vu

ITV channels - couldn't figure out what the script was expecting to
identify my region, it just kept putting South East in as the default,
which it says it will do in the readme.  I tried entering "granada" but it
was ignored, couldn't find a list of "expected" entries for this

freeview.foodnetwork.com - was entered as foodnetwork.com

freeview.aljazeera.net - was entered as aljazeera.net

ITV HD - this seems to be an xmltv issue, as this wasn't in the xmltv file
in the first place

The rest of my xmltv errors were for channels that did not exist, such as
BBC Interactive Sport (not sure if I just can't tune this), Super Casino,
Viva+1 etc.  So think that's it.

Karl, I think it does, from the readme:

*In the UK, TV schedule information is available from Radio Times Ltd. via
computer-readable listings
which can be obtained using the the `tv_grabber_uk_rt` programme.  It
produces a listing ... which mythupchuk parses and matches against the
channel names (see above).

mythupchuk runs the command like this:

    tv_grab_uk_rt --list-channels --config-file /dev/null 2> /dev/null*

So not sure why these got messed up along the way.

Cheers

Martin
