What I finally ended up doing was asking for help from my local linux
group and they came up with a simple script that looks for a specific
pattern in TV.xml and deletes those without a stop= time. Here is the
script that I use to fix my TV.xml:
cat $file | sed '/<programme start="[^"]*" channel=/,/<\/programme>/d' \
> ${$file}.new
Change the $file to the name of your TV.xml file, the last part
${$file}.new just outputs it to a new name, so just name it whatever you
want it to be.
eg.
cat TV.xml | sed '/<programme start="[^"]*" channel=/,/<\/programme>/d' >
TV.xml.new
I am now able to download my channel listings for 7 days run this against
my downloaded TV.xml file and then replace it with the new output and my
TV Guide works! I don't know if this is an issue for anyone else but if it
is give it a try. Always use a copied file of the original to test with.
