There are at least a dozen or more examples in my current guide of blank spaces that aren't being filled in no matter how many times I download the XML (I have the specific XML cached so it reloads the same file each time).
I can confirm that FreeGuide is unable to import the XMLTV snippet shown above. It complains about an invalid unicode character.
If I replace "Mirosláv Táborský" with "Miroslav Taborsky" (no accents) it imports fine.
I wonder whether Schedules Direct is providing invalid characters or FreeGuide is interpreting them wrong. Please could you contact the XMLTV developers to ask whether these characters are supposed to be unicode, and if so whether they are incorrect?
Thanks, Andy
