Hi,
Yes I'm inclined to agree. I guess it's the biggest downside to having a database like Atlas - they capture all they can from various sources and then dump the whole thing when a showing is scheduled, i.e. without reference to whether flags such as HD (or Premiere etc?) are actually relevant or not. Even the aspect ratio can be wrong. 

The corollary is grabbers which automatically add flags such as HD just because a programme is being shown on an HD station. I think that's misleading - if The Good Life is shown on BBC2HD does it magically become HD?  I think not.

I've removed the widescreen, high-def and stereo flags from the xml.

Thanks,
