Hi Alan

Been using this software for a long time and im most grateful for it. Recently i changed over to use the Digiguide feed, making use of the more complete channel lists.

However i had no problems at first, but after a week i find the xml file it creates is not recognised by XMLTV viewer - giving " XML does not appear to be a Radio Times XMLTV file" and is not recognised by GBPVR.

Ive read a few other posts ans im sure you want me to narrow down the problem - but its hard to know where to start! Can you suggest a few things to narrow down the problem, and any supporting info you need to see where the issue is?

Any ideas appreciated

if you load the file in internet explorer / firefox then it should tell you about any xml errors. also check that there arent any duplicate channel ids or channels with no ids

Excellent, cheers.

Got the following error:
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: file:///C:/Program%20Files/XMLTV%20GUI/data.xml
Line Number 364517, Column 76: <desc>Keen to retire, a couple decides to auction their Isle of Wight B&B; plus a look at the dilapidated Dorset barn now worth close to £1 million.</desc>

When i search this line in Dreamweaver it only shows up to 44000 so i cant see what channel this error occurs in. Hope this helps though, anything else i should look for?

try experimenting with your output encoding. utf-8 should work

Im sorry, i tried both other options to no avail. Still the same error in Firefox.
