Hi Toby,

Cheers, glad to hear it's useful.

I've actually updated the version I'm using here again and it's now working 
with a local sqlite database to override the category type (movie, tvshow, 
series, sports) and category (Comedy, Drama, etc.) based on a title lookup.

It doesn't seem to slow the generation down much if at all which is cool. It's 
useful as the EPG for channels 1,2 and 3 aren't really categorised otherwise, 
and you can also override anything else you want.

I've also changed the ratings to G, PG, M etc. I'm not sure how accurate they 
are yet but we'll see how it goes.

I wasn't planning on uploading it until I have added a basic interface for the 
sqlite database but if anyone is interested now let me know.

I've been playing with imdbpy since lastnite and I'll see if I can incorporate 
that in a useful way.

Cheers,

hads
