Transition from tv_grab_uk_rt to tv_grab_uk_atlas

Dear list,

I am based in Belgium, where it's very difficult to get good guide data.
I'm therefore grateful for the great data we've been receiving about the
British channels through the RT grabber. But since the RT grabber will
stop working at some point I thought I'd start the transition to the
Atlas grabber.

I'm facing some minor difficulties, some of which I've solved, others
the list might be able to offer help with.

First difficulty: I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 which does not carry an XMLTV
version in which the Atlas version is available. Fortunately I'm
familiar with building and installing software from tarballs so that's
what I did.

Second difficulty is to do with the apparent in-built assumption in the
Atlas grabber that users are based in the UK and are therefore using one
of the content distribution networks in common use there. As I said I'm
in Belgium and am receiving the British channels via my cable provider.
So it's not clear to me which content distribution network I should be
choosing when configuring the grabber. Unfortunately when one makes the
wrong choice some channels may be missing from the lineup.

How can I find out which lineups are available behind each of the options?

Thanks, Jan
