Just to upset the people for whom it isn't working. It has been working fine for me without any hiccups at all. I'm running the version which came with knoppmyth r5e50, which dates from last christmas. All I've done is tweak the channels id file to add new channels as they've been added. have you checked the xmltv lists as they are usually hot on this sort of thing.
<br><br>this does sometimes happen with RT though, and it usually resolves after a few days<br><br>gary<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 04/09/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">James Cummings</b> <<a href="mailto:cummings.james@gmail.com">

<br><br>I'm not sure it this is relevant, but as a heads up - there is (or<br>was) a bug in tv_grab_uk_rt which meant that when it is run *not*<br>inside a terminal window (eg run from cron (or possibly mythtv) then<br>
tv_grab_uk_rt doesn't append the <\tv> to the end of its output, and<br>mythfilldatabase chokes on the xmltv data, producing the "no programs<br>found in data" error message.<br><br>Maybe this bug has just appeared in the packaged version of xmltv?

radiotimes.com</a> was blank/empty ...even though the channel files had data in them. It now has data in it as well.
