It appears that tv_grab_uk_rt went dodgy over the weekend, which happened to be when I moved from Mandrake to Gentoo..

Anyway, in search of something that downloads the listings in less than three days, I came across a posting (I think in mythtv) for getting xmltv listngs from bleb.

This, I have enclosed as an attachment..

However, the autogenerated xml output is missing the timezone information...

Specifically " +0000" at the end of each time, and is so thrown away by the epgxmltv generator..

I did a search and replace using emacs and it all loaded rather well, not to mention that it takes about 15 seconds to download a weeks listings.

Anyone feel up to doing a perl script or similar to get this working as a correct format xmltv script for freevo. It appears to go into mythtv perfectly.

Mind you, who knows what will happen in a couple of weeks when we go to BST.. I would expect bleb to ignore it.. Which means that the perl script should probably be intelligent enough to cope.
