Any idea where that data is comming from? Are they manually
categorising titles or what?

BTW, there is catagory data in the EIT, but the tool I'm using doesn't
parse it. Using dvbsnoop, I can see it. It looks like Sky are sending
it, tho EIT data on TVNZ's own transponder doesn't have catagories. (Sky
have catagories for TVNZ channels on their transponders..)

Fixing tv_grab_dvb is on my todo list.. (but, it's a long list :) )

I've been to take a look at getting tv_grab_dvb to do the tunning
itself so we don't need to run dvbstream. But I haven't gotten round
to it.
