 The !JavaScript module enables grabbers to read web pages with embedded Javascript. It can be a difficult module to install on some distributions, but provides access to significantly better quality TV guide data.

-libmozjs0d from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/libmozjs0d. Then use "sudo dpkg -i
