Hi,
I am replying directly to you this time because something seems to be
up with the lists, hotmail returned my message that I sent to the
lists. Could you CC your reply to the lists too. Thanks.
OK.

"To use a later version of XMLTV with FreeGuide you simply need to
upgrade it (on linux, upgrade as normal, and on Windows, download the
new xmltv.exe file and replace the one in C:\Program
Files\FreeGuide\xmltv with the new one, and then copy the shared files
into C:\Program Files\FreeGuide\xmltv\shared, replacing the old ones."

Im using Windows, I dropped in the new files from xmltv-0.5.37-win32.

"However, because you want to start using a different grabber, you
need to change some of FreeeGuide's configuration manually by clicking
"Tools", "Options" and then choosing "Downloading" under "Advanced".
Wherever the grabber command and config command say "tv_grab_uk_bleb"
you'll need to replace that with "tv_grab_uk_rt". You'll also need to
change "grabber config" line under "Directories" in the same way. Get
back in touch telling us what operating system you are on, exactly
what you did, and what is happening if it still doesn't work. "

Okay, I did that.
As I said in my other email, it doesn't seem to support the --gui
command.
Yes, thanks - I hadn't realised this - the rewritten version of
tv_gra_uk_rt doesn't support the --gui switch. I've added it to my TODO
list to submit a patch for this.
In the meantime the workaround is to configure it manually, by opening a
Cmd window and typing:
cd "C:\Program Files\FreeGuide\xmltv
xmltv.exe tv_grab_uk_rt --config-file "tv_grab_uk_rt.conf" --configure
and then following the instructions. When this is finished, you should
be able to use FreeGuide to download listings and work normally. Let us
know if you have more problems.

Freeguide cannot download listings anymore or get a list of channels.
Commands:
$"C:\Program Files\Utilities\FreeGuide\xmltv\xmltv.exe" tv_grab_uk_rt
--config-file "C:\Program
Files\Utilities\FreeGuide\xmltv\tv_grab_uk_rt.conf" --configure --gui
Output:
Timezone is GMT

Duplicate specification "" for option ""
Unknown option: gui
To configure: tv_grab_uk_rt --configure [--config-file FILE]
To grab listings: tv_grab_uk_rt [--config-file FILE] [--output FILE]

List channels only: tv_grab_uk_rt --list-channels [--output FILE]

Changing --gui to --list-channels doesn't work either.
Thanks
