I have found a solution to the xmltv problem; it invovles getting a new tv_grab_na_dd file and using a "--padd 20" option. I was told it should be in the current CVS version but it didn't work for me.

Here is the replacement tv_grab_na_dd file:

On the subject of XMLTV, I've noticed a small problem with changing from
one grabber to another, for example I used to use tv_grab_ch but this
got blocked, then I switched to tv_grab_de_tvtoday and finality to
tv_grab_ch_bluewin, and the same favorite with a different case eg
"Waking the Dead" or "Waking The Dead" are treated as different programs.
The attached patch fixes this problem.
Another problem with tv_grab_ch_bluewin is that it times out quite
often, so I have written the build-xml script to get the channels one at
a time. (This script can be improved, I've ## the channels that I don't
want)
