Do you have a video source configured called "uk_rt"?

I've not seen any recent reports of the grabber not working.

Note that the current stable release of XMLTV is 0.5.59, and that
there were timezone check issues with earlier XMLTV versions (pre
0.5.57) and some early 6.0x versions of the Date::Manip Perl library
that XMLTV uses.

It would be helpful if you could run the grabber manually from the
command prompt (in non-quiet mode) and provide the library versioning
info printed at the start of the STDERR output to check the versions
of the core and other important libraries that XMLTV uses.

Cheers,
Nick
