klack.de returns dummy titles

klack.de seems to detect the scraper and returns dummy titles (Sie wurden gesperrt) after several successful grabs.

channels.xml:
<channel update="i" site="klack.de" site_id="22/cnn" xmltv_id="CNN">CNN</channel>

guide.xml:
<programme start="20190101140000 +0100" stop="20190101150000 +0100" channel="CNN">
<title lang="de">News Stream (with World Sport)</title>
<desc lang="de">Hosted by Kristie Lu Stout, News Stream is an hour-long news program broadcast from CNN's studio in Hong Kong(n)</desc>

It's probably necessary to detect this kind of dummy title and slow down and retry. Second option would be to slow down from the beginning.
