that's a good idea; and as a bonus, makes it much easier for me!

i'm not a perl hacker or anything, but i've managed to adapt the scripts
written by Anders Lindahl [http://k76.ryd.student.liu.se/tv/ it's in
swedish, i'm afraid] to grab the tv listings from bleb on a nightly basis.

i just need to put a sensible delay in now. any suggestions on a bit of
code for that?
