E.g. do any of the feeds give a good description of Video Game Nation on Challenge? UK_RT usually gives a generic description for each episode.

You might want to check my previous post (2016-05-15) - Im still looking to see exactly what season/episode data
is provided.

An important point is that so far Ive only seen Satellite lineups - ie Sky and Freesat - I do not see a Freeview
lineup.

I think a Freeview lineup could be munged together from that data though - the primary issue are those channels
on  Freeview but not on Freesat eg Dave - but I know Dave is on Sky - there is a channels configure option for the
tv_grab_sd_json but not tried it yet.
