What do people use for UK EPG data (Standard Channels) for XML Data

[jksmurf]

I'm outside the UK.

I tried Birtles XMLTV GUI but it does not work (login etc). It appears to be out of action /superseded?
WebGrab seems to have it but is complicated.

Thanks

XMLTV GUI works for me ....Radio Times was the source selected.

I use it for my GBPVR setup (just starting to upgrade to NPVR at the moment so trialing OTA EPG from Satelite).

Hmmm

No luck for me :-(

Code:

9:47:45 p.m. -    0 / 0 channels downloaded

That's basically saying 0 of 0 channels have been processed which suggests you haven't set it to download any channel data...or is that at the point that you're trying to get a list of channels?

[Bobins]

Just tested and it's definitely working.... I agree with bgowland above....have you selected any channels to download data for?

This is where channels are selected ...

Just in case you missed it
