Free XMLTV EPG scraper

Hi guys, updated this to .66 - it fixes the sympatico url problem. See the original post for linkage

unfortunately their OTA data is not for digital and is pretty worthless in the U.S. now. While it could be gleaned from cable stations, right now instead of this I'm using the mc2xml utility for guide data mostly.

I no longer get the option for Bell Express Vu. Since the issue I was just doing manual records at the time and channel I needed. Not as nice as having the listings for sure, but I can get by with it.

Not sure what this means. OTA IS digital in the US. In my area, even before the switchover (when simulcasting in analog ceased), the listing data was identical for both analog and digital. And even though you can still get listings for both analog and digital from within Media Center (and mc2xml), the data for the OTA stations is still identical. So I don't see why it matters if the display-name in the xml data does or does not indicate the content is digital.

I guess my bottom line is that I think the community should maintain support for as many free sources of xmltv data as possible.

I hope I'm not alone in this because it's well known that misery loves company...

Has anyone else's MSN scraper stopped collecting data past March 24th?
No errors in the logs, I've cleaned out the program data folder, and looked at the XML file in IE, there's nothing past midnight.

Can anyone point me in a direction to fix my GBPVR to load my xmltv file, my xmtv app is working great but once GBPVR starts writing it to GBPVR it fails. I have attached the log file and I see the same error in it as I seen on the screen when I do a epgupdate.
