All pages return 400. May be geoblocked?

Looks like toi has gone away:

returns "sorry"  

Maybe it's just geoblocked?

Of the 3 sources within tv_grab_is it looks like one has gone subcription only and one has lost the xml feed. So only 1 channel (RUV; RUV+1) is left working in this grabber.

The channel list file on the source site ( http://xmltv.tvsajten.com/ ) is out of date, which means many of the channels no longer fetch. (Some are ok, others not).
