I'm using GBR-1000083-DEFAULT and missing data for channel ids 50059,
67073 and 50717. Are any of those in your lineup?

Yes: 50059. (I'm in Belgium and we only get the Beeb here). And my last
overnight run did yield data for that channel.

Note that a little while ago I had an issue whereby the SDJSON XMLTV
grabber failed before downloading all data. I first reported this to SD,
and Robert suggested decreasing the chunk size. (This required a simple
patch to the grabber as this isn't configurable).

So decreasing the chunk size from 5000 to 250 made it work.

Robert then suggested reporting the matter to the XMLTV project which I
did here:

https://github.com/XMLTV/xmltv/issues/137

However the problem disappeared before we were able to diagnose its
cause. The (unpatched) grabber is now once again working here.

I was mistaken. I am getting data for those channels, it's just that
mythweb is showing the wrong information. The programs are visible from
the guide in mythfrontend. This seems to be something to do with having
channels in the channel table marked with a date in the "deleted" field.

Thanks for your help.

If you are running MythTV master, be sure you are
running mythweb master with commit e020a3ef5e
and if you are still on fixes/31, be sure you are
have commit 2c4c4af8fd which is the backport
to deal with deleted channels.

Awesome, thank you. That sorted it out.
