Does anyone on this list use MythTV and tv_grab_uk_rt to get your TV<br>listings? If so, have you had any difficulty with it in the last few<br>days? I have two MythTV boxes and they've both started to fail to get<br>listings. Has this happened to anyone else?

<br><br><a href="http://xmltv.radiotimes.com/xmltv/${channum}.dat">http://xmltv.radiotimes.com/xmltv/${channum}.dat</a><br><br>which used to provide a csv-type file, but unfortunately is now protected by basic auth. So I guess it's going to have to be back to the screen scraping version! :-)
