I found "libparse-recdescent-perl" is a dependency package of xmltv-util 0.5.57-3, so I needed to install the version from Lucid before I could complete the manual install of the xmltv packages from Maverick.
Any one else reading this bug report may be looking for a copy-n-paste solution that works in Lucid without needing to add any package repo: 

apt-get install libparse-recdescent-perl
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49048115/xmltv_0.5.57-3_all.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49048118/xmltv-gui_0.5.57-3_all.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49048117/xmltv-util_0.5.57-3_all.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49048116/libxmltv-perl_0.5.57-3_all.deb
dpkg --install ./libxmltv-perl_0.5.57-3_all.deb ./xmltv-util_0.5.57-3_all.deb ./xmltv-gui_0.5.57-3_all.deb ./xmltv_0.5.57-3_all.deb
tv_grab_uk_rt --configure
tv_grab_uk_rt --config-file "~/.xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt.conf"

Note the links above to newer versions of XML TV packages in Maverick
will get deprecated with the next package release, so until this version
is available in Lucid, you *should* go use the newest links to Binary

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xmltv

The latest version of Date::Manip (6.04) causes tv_grab_uk_rt in lucid xmltv (0.5.56-1) to break:

$ tv_grab_uk_rt
Using old-style config file
XMLTV requires a Date::Manip timezone of +0000 to work properly.
Current Date::Manip timezone is wet.
$ 

Has been fixed upstream, not yet in debian.
