I think I just figured out another reason why SickRage can't find ATK.
The name of the NZB is Americas Test Kitchen, minus the apostrophe. In
SR the name includes the apostrophe because that's how it appears on
the TVDB. In SR, there is no way to change that. So my guess is I'll
never get SR to find it as long as the spelling is different than what
it expects it to be.
I opened this as an issue on GitHub, hopefully they'll do something
about it.
