This problem remains. i.e. no updates since TUESDAY. Happened also around 18th March. Becuase the XML file contains some information about future programmes. it is not always obvious to an end-user that something has gone wrong until some days later (which is good). How about BBC putting some monitoring in place to report when the XML file has a timestamp more than X hours old - and then forwarding info the the relevant teams .. including iPlayer folks (I presume that iPlayer issues get actioned more quickly).
