Per the nightly validator that Robert pointed out, the Radio Times data has been available for 7 of the last 10 days but has been down for the last couple (the validator is sometimes a day behind depending on when it runs). As I am sure most tv_grab_uk_rt users will know by now, the service has been quite intermittent over the past several weeks. This is clearly out of my hands, and all I can do is report any problems with the service to the Radio Times and hope they get resolved. I currently have data out to the morning of the 20th September after a successful retrieval on Tuesday morning at 0600, but grabber runs for the last 2 days have had to rely on the cached listings data from Tuesday and have not added any new listings. tv_grab_uk_rt users failing to retrieve listings (even when the validator is reporting success) might want to empty the listings cache (usually ~/.xmltv/cache - or whatever is specified in the grabber config file) to start from a known-good configuration.
