Apologies for the delay in responding - not very well.

A nightly snapshot tarball can be used, as this will pull in all
changes since the 0.5.61 release. The XMLTV README document [1] covers
the steps needed to build the code. I'm not aware of any major issues
with the nightly snapshot.

If you do not want to use the very latest version of the uk_rt grabber
(1.382, which includes all the new lineup stuff and needs more
testing), you can download the 1.381 version [2] and build the source
using that. You obviously need to replace the tv_grab_uk_rt.in file in
grab/uk_rt with the one you download before running `make`.
