Maybe this should be removed from the docs. The latest version of the German grabber finally works, older ones where buggy. > 3. The program listings have programs which overlap.

There is correction code already in CVS. Your solution doesn't work, because some tv guides have the listing not in timed order. Right now the fix does: if last.start < current.start and last.stop > current.stop: last.stop = current.start This works for me (German, too) > 4.
