Hi Jan,
That would be a significant diversion from the current workflow in the grabber. The platforms and regions are not hard-coded but created on-the-fly from the Atlas API. There are also many stations present in the Atlas data which are dummy or otherwise contain rubbish (these obviously don't appear in a region line-up but *would* appear in a complete station list).
I'm not saying it's not possible but I don't have time right now, sorry :-( If you wish you can raise a Feature Request so it won't be forgotten: http://sourceforge.net/p/xmltv/feature-requests/
Alternatively, rather than everyone wading through all 1,500 stations, perhaps you could create a config-file specifically for BE? I would be happy to package this with the project files. If anyone else then wanted the same lineup they could simply customise your config file to suit their needs. Just a thought :-)

I'm not aware of anything in the API Explorer which does this. The Atlas database's documentation is very sparse, as you've discovered.
Cheers,
Geoff
