Hi Nick,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I have followed the first part of the
instructions found here:

http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/Living_on_the_Edge

I did not do the make install, but instead only copied the
./blib/script/tv_grab_uk_rt to /usr/bin:

[root@neon ~]# tv_grab_uk_rt --version
XMLTV module version 0.5.61
This is tv_grab_uk_rt version 1.381, 2012/02/27 15:15:14
[root@neon ~]#

I re-ran mythfilldatabase and I see a lot of updated programmes:

When I check my copy of the guide with the guide on www.radiotimes.com
the one hour time difference is there! This seems to do the trick.
Thanks very much for pointing me in that direction! I'll keep an eye
on things and report back should I find inconsistencies. Also curious
when we switch back to CET/GMT later in the year.

Kind regards,


Jelte
