I'm just playing with EPG data I've gotten from several aussie sites. When it imports into GB-PVR I see some strange things....
Here's a sample program from the xml
In both examples: When GB-PVR imports this into its database, it takes the Description and copies it to the Ratings filed as well. When there is no specific sub-title (as in the simpsons) then the description is copied over that too
In other words, after import, viewing the TV-Guicde in GB-PVR, I see the same description three times in many cases, as the description is copied into the subtitle and ratings, when there is no data in those fields...
Sometimes this can be quite crowded on the screen with three paragraphs, wrapping onto each other...
Is there some way to fix this in GB-PVR, or could we run the xmltv through a processor ?

Code:

<title lang="en">House, M.D.</title>
<sub-title lang="en">You Don't Want to Know</sub-title>
<desc lang="en">House treats a magician but comes to believe he's faking illness to cover up his own incompetence. Meanwhile, House pits the fellows against each other in his version of an immunity challenge.</desc>

<rating system="ABA">
