No dice.  I tried putting in callsigns for some, but Fetch did
nothing.  I also tried putting in xmltvid's for some, and Fetch still
did nothing.  I tried watching live, hitting E, and then hitting the
Probe button (both for ones where I'd entered call signs and ones
where I'd entered xmltvids), still nothing.
