Glitches like no data for several days, while other websites from which 
this data is also available do have it. So I'm thinking that it should 
be possible to "combine" multiple sources of metadata for a particular 
channel for two purposes:

- if one site has no data then perhaps another does;

- one site's data may be richer than another's.

Of course, this would mean having to give the combiner a list of XMLTV 
IDs that refer to the same channel, so that their metadata can be merged.
