I had a few spare minutes yesterday and tried to make it work again.

The general approach of scraping data didn't need changing, only the
layout seems to have changed.

I made a minimal working update. Channel ids extracting works, as well
as start, stop dates, title and sub-title extracting. I didn't yet add
description and further meta data extracting.

What right now doesn't work is what channels are selected. The POST
request with the right channel ids seems to be incorrect but I haven't
yet had time to find out what's wrong.
