Geoff,

Thanks for your reply.

It's likely neither; based on the test cards we see when there are
occasional outages I think they're getting a terrestrial feed via France.

Let me ask another question: would you expect all channels that are
available through the RT grabber also to be available through Atlas?
Because I think I've got one that isn't: BBC Entertainment (known in the
RT grabber as entertainment.bbc.com). I certainly couldn't find it in
the file you pointed to on your github.

I also have a feature request. Grabber configuration is not a very
enjoyable or user-friendly experience (generally; not just your
grabber). I'd like to be able to edit the configuration by hand rather
than having to use the --configure option each time. But for that to be
practical there needs to be human-readable information in the
configuration file. Would it be possible to include the XMLTV IDs for
each channel in the configuration file as comments?

Thanks, Jan
