OK, same one I just upgraded to...

All I'm going on is that when it runs, the grabber says:

"The XMLTV tv_grab_uk_rt software has support for 306 channels, of
which 44 +1/+2 channels use timeshifted coporiginal data. These
channels may also have listings data available separately from Radio
Times. The advantage of using timeshifted original data in lieu of the
Radio Times +1/+2 files is the guarantee of the same
titles/descriptions for all channels sharing the programme
information. The software also supports 4 part-time channels by
extracting programme information for these channels for the periods
they are on-air."

This seemed to imply to me that it can work out +1 channels without
needing them to be on the Radio Times website, but that's honestly as
far as I got. Upgrading fixed mythfilldatabase for me, so I was
temporarily satisfied :)

I've never read the source, but presumably the grabber script has a
list of channels, with a flag for whether they have +1 versions. Could
you add in the missing +1s? I would take a look myself, but between
work and new baby, free time closely approximates zero ;)

cheers,
James
