Yes. Maybe we need a slightly different model with regards to descriptions
-- like capturing detailed information on demand, I like the descriptions
for when I archive recording but I archive 0.0001% of the programs in the
data that I grab (would also speed grabbing).

I don't know about this. I don't consider d1 to be fixed. As above I don't
care about the descriptions, but I know I got less than 2 or 3 days of data
just yesterday for many channels. I don't expect it to improve much from
what I can see.

It's frozen right now... I'll finish testing it not before next Tuesday
(exams Fri & Tues, work Thurs & Sat) unfortunately and don't worry the group
will be the first or second to know.
