UK listings and XMLTV Issues

[RangerBob]

There may still be a problem here...
I have just checked and my EPG data is down to 6 days left.
I did a manual XMLTV download thismorning and checked the XML data recieved and the file still shows data from 29th March to 11th April, so it looks like the data hasn't been updated by radiotimes.com since it recovered from its outage.
Is anybody else seeing this from RadioTimes or is it just me ?

I can confirm I too only have 6 days remaining, mine says until the 10th of April. Not good.

If you look at the dates of the RT xml data at http://xmltv.radiotimes.com/xmltv/ then the date/time of the channel data is 29th March. So It looks like they have manually churned out a couple of weeks worth to "quieten the masses" when the site went down. Hopefully they will generate it again either manually or back to the normal automatic updates.

I am pretty sure that Alan Birtles (XMLTVGUI creator) is in touch with them and keeping an eye out. There is a thread on his forum covering this. See the thread here

Well it was as I now have 14 days of data.

None of the RadioTimes sites are responding for me. No XML data either.
Oh dear.

Well it was as I now have 14 days of data.

The site seems to be on an off for me.

I also have 14 days of data - BUT, it is from the 29th March to the 10th of april.

I've just grabbed a set of listings that go up to the 18th. Get 'em while you can.
