I generally notice candidate titles either in

i) the grabber's debug output for my selection of channels (it already
detects a lot of titles that could/should be corrected, and I add more
routines when I think of them and have the time),

or

ii) my MythTV upcoming recordings list, which uses quite a few
power/title searches instead of straight programme recordings.

As such, there is no public list of these anywhere, and current fixups
are skewed towards programmes that are particularly visible to me.
However, anyone using the uk_rt grabber can turn on debug mode and
check the output at the end of processing for candidate titles to
update based on their own channel selection, and can post details
here.

There are a few ways for anyone interested to help out:

i) post updates (as you have recently) using the fixup styles as seen
in uk_rt/prog_titles_to_process
ii) post diffs against the uk_rt/prog_titles_to_process which can be
readily applied
iii) ask the XMLTV admins for CVS access to permit updating the files directly.

I would guess that fulfilling steps i) and ii) will help to make step
iii) a straightforward decision for Robert to make.

Cheers,
Nick
