I only heard about it today...for the moment, I think I can more or
less get the contents of the channel by subscribing to the RSS that
lists the videos uploaded by a user;
http://www.youtube.com/rss/user/MontyPython/videos.rss

That might be just as good...I don't entirely grok how "channels" work
in YouTube.

Cheers.
