'Unacceptable' might be a bit harsh statement from my side, but my
opinion is that the tv guide on dagbladet.no provides program info for
these two channels, and therefore so should tv_grab_no. The problem
is that the site gives both channels the same name (which is an error
on dagbladet.no's side), and this really messes up the xmltv listings
when using my grabber. The reason for this is that the grabber parses
data from dagbladets.no's pda pages, and gets the channel id for each
program by converting from channel name to id. The problem with the
naming error can be delt with if the grabber gets the channel id
directly, which is possible if the data is parsed from
http://fredag.dagbladet.no/tv.
By the way, I have mailed dagbladet and told them about the naming
error. Unfortunately I didn't find any contact information related to
the tv guide, so I had to send the mail to webmaster. I just hope the
mail doesn't get lost with all the spam.
Regards,
Petter
