Thanks for the reminder. It was on my mental todo list, just not yet actioned :)

I've updated the channel names and icons, but have left the affected
Channel One IDs untouched as the "powers that be" at Sky have decided
that the Channel One and Bravo channels will be taken off air soon
(too similar to their existing manly-man channels). Channel One will
be replaced by Challenge on Freeview; I do not know at the moment
what, if anything, will replace Bravo. The IDs for the other channels
in the Living TV Group stable (Challenge, Bravo, Living) are currently
ownership-agnostic, so I plan on waiting to see what Sky do with them
(rename, etc) before deciding whether to update their IDs in the
future.

The previous timings excluded the 3 hour Challenge/Roulette live
simulcast between 0000 and 0300. I've adjusted the timings for Channel
One on Freeview to now include it. The timeshifted Channel One +1
listings (broadcast 0400-0100) now exclude it for obvious reasons. Let
me know if you notice any issues with these updated timings in your
listings.

I've also noticed whilst writing this reply that Living +2 (a 2hr
timeshift) was replaced with Living Loves (a normal channel) in July,
but I can't tell from the empty Living +2 file on the RT server
whether they are providing listings for the new channel or not. I'll
remove the Living +2 entries and see whether the RT can/are provide
listings for Living Loves.

Cheers,
Nick
