I guess you're talking about the contents of 'channel'. That wasn't a big 
change. 'channel' is a "unique" id that refers to the appropriate channel, 
and it always was. The change made it more unique among grabbers. It was 
never really meant to be used for display purposes. That's what 
channel['display-name'] is for.

Of course, I abused the old content format from tv_grab_na in much the same 
way as you guys did. :-) It didn't take long to fix in my ZODB/IndexedCatalog 
code and it gave me the push to make some improvements at the same time.

Wait until XMLTV 0.6 is released. That will include some major structural 
changes in both programme and channel.

Well, that's because you're not dynamically loading channels from the XMLTV 
file. I've found that the channel list changes fairly often for my provider.

The format of channel['display-name'] didn't change, not in tv_grab_na at 
least, and it will not change over the lifetime of 0.5.x.
