That always pulls in an identical order (whether or not that order is actually correct), yet your one pulls the genres in in a random order each time, thus compounding the problem even further. The "problem" lies with mythTV. Most PVR software programs accept multiple categories (as per the xmltv specification) - mythTV does not. http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-dev/2007-June/056097.html http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/32/163790.html http://copilotco.com/mail-archives/mythtv.2007/msg15184.html > Granted, it does't help that the PA seem to put their categories in at random too, but your grabber re-randomising that data (when other grabbers such as the atlas API grabber don't for some reason) just makes things worse. I'd rather the same data was returned in the same order each time. If the atlas API explorer can do it, so can your grabber. That way at least the errors would be consistent, rather than changing each time the guide data is updated every day.
