The Radio Times data seems to be quite stable now (when it's working
anyhow...) so things look good for a release from the point of view of
_uk_rt.

Regarding other grabbers currently exhibiting issues on the nightly
validator [1]:

i) _ee and _re have recent patches outstanding from Karl Dietz (who
has provided patches for others), and
ii) _eu_epgdata and _za have older outstanding patches which may or
may not be needed

Additionally, _ar and _dtv_na (in addition to _ee) are exhibiting
fatal errors on the validator (sid/nightly):

i) _dtv_na issues may be due to location/connection problems from the
validator machine,
ii) _ar may require more work if the site has been redesigned - no
channels are found at the moment, and
iii) _ee has Unicode/charset issues which should hopefully be fixed
with Karl's recent patch.

I've been unwell and have not been able to do as much work looking at
the other grabbers as I was hoping to for the upcoming release, but I
did apply some outstanding patches on Wednesday that have fixed
_uk_bleb and _nl.

I'd like to thank Chris Butler and Karl Dietz for looking through the
grabbers and supplying several useful patches to help fix those which
were exhibiting problems and for making their documentation more
consistent. I'd also like to thank Chris again for taking over (and
extending) the running of the nightly validator.
