About a year ago I set up a copy of the validator to test xmltv (nightly,
release and my packages) on different versions of Debian:

    http://debian.crustynet.org.uk/~xmltv-tester/

It looks like it could do with a bit of maintenance. I've not looked at it
for a while and bits seem to have broken, but that shouldn't be too
difficult to fix. I'd be happy to keep it running as the "official"
validator - at which point I'd put in a bit of automatic monitoring to make
sure it keeps working.

Looks like there are a couple of grabbers which need test account details as
well, which I'll need to get set up.

I'm at the Debian developer's conference again next week, so I should have a
bit of time available to get the validator back up and running (funnily
enough it was last year's DebConf when I originally set it up).
