Added. --- Patches or complete examples are always welcome for specific titles users want to see improved (but please provide channel details) - I don't have the time at the moment to check much more than the current debug output gives me (and that's not a daily occurrence either, as the slowdown of updates shows), but will commit any that are provided and seem sane. I will eventually add more logic to the debug routines to help with identifying programmes where similarly-named programmes already have their title and subtitle are being rewritten (the worst-case fixups), but free time has been minimal to the extreme recently. Selfishly I'll always prefer to fix titles that I'm either interested in or are quick fixes, and updates that require ongoing monitoring or are of no interest to me (like the above examples) fall to the bottom of the pile. I can't believe the fixups file already has >2700 entries...
