Hi again

Sorry for not responding earlier, have been rather busy for a Sunday.

This is what I'm going to do for now. Thanks for the info - I now know 
more about how the data is gathered.

I would certainly assist in categorising shows if this was to become a 
reality. Given this recent issue I do agree that the crowd-sourced data 
would be more reliable. Even at the best of times the categories can be 
a bit off as they stand.

I'm going to keep a close eye on Jamu and see if it appears to be 
responsible for adding in those programme IDs.
