Cool, that should show up are any issues with it more quickly than my use.

Sounds good. If you let me know what the quirks you've come across are I'll be 
happy to have a look at it and fix anything.

I've just updated it once again here are the changes this time;

 * Added initial sqlite processing - you can override the default categories 
from the database with a title look up. There is a sample database on the 
site.

 * Added a simple setup mode for the sqlite database - it goes through and 
prompts for unknown programs to enter into the database.

 * Added the ability to drop privileges to a normal user (useful for running 
from cron after you have setup the sqlite database as a normal user.)

 * Added ratings definitions (G, PG, M, etc.) - unsure how accurate these are 
yet as I can't tell where SKY gets their info from.

 * Added temporary fix to supress stderr output from dvbsnoop subprocess 
(until I figure out what the actual problem is).

The default behaviour is the same as before, you can enable the extra features 
at your whim.
