North West has been updated is is now full out to the 18th - yes.

I definately have only got BBC1 and 2 out to about 5 days. I use BBC1 North West and BBC2 North West. Are they discriminating against us northerners?

RT are still in a right old mess.

Here's the lua script and the configuration file that I use to transform the Radio Times names into those that appear on the Freeview transmissions. Now, when I scan with GBPVR they ...

Yep, that's fine now.
Cheers.

I am a very satisifed user of XMLTVGUI. Thanks for all the effort.

I would like to write the script to transform names but I can't get to the wiki to see the documentation. Is there something wrong or is the link no longer valid.

Thanks for your help.
