Re: UK: tv_grab_uk_atlas has stopped working

Hmm. This discussion is interesting to me because I'm using atlas (but
on tvheadend, not myth) and last time i checked tvheadend did not yet
have the ability to pass cmd arguments like --hours to the tv_grab_
command. So perhaps the setting can instead be set in a ~/.xmltv dot
configuration file?

Also on atlas + ASTRA I've been seeing incorrect listings on 2
channels: The Active Channel and NHK World HD. Not sure why that might
be. It's just certain channels. Not too bothered about it though.

initially blank and filled in a couple of days later. Some channels
are just consistently wrong (e.g. TCM).
