I don't get that channel, so I've just hacked tv_grab_uk_rt to skip the
channel in the main loop:


  foreach (split /\n/, $channel_list) {
    chomp;
    /^(\d+)\|(.+)/ or die "bad line in channel list: $_";
    my ($rt_id, $name) = ($1, $2);
    ##
    ## Hack to skip temporarily duplicated entry
    next if ( $name eq 'Cartoon Network Too' );
    ##
    $seen_rt_id{$rt_id}++ && die "channel with RT id $rt_id seen twice";
    $seen_name{$name}++ && die "channel named '$name' seen twice";

Seems to work fine as regards collecting data for the other channels.
Neither of the data files for either of those channel ids have any data
in, so something's gone awry.
