Re: [TV] [Fwd: WGET Script Problem]

[Brian_Dorling@xxxxxxxxxxx (Brian Dorling)]

Andrew,
OK thanks I will try it like that too. I Actually did get it working now, 
but by removing the spaces in the -U string. I guess it was just frustrating 
to not know a solution to the actual problem.

FYI. I now will try to use XML2EPG (I think its called that) to take the 
info I get via WGET and put that into the EPG data of VDR. I'm a little bit 
spoilt by the channels here in Germany supplying a lot of EPG data that 
sometimes goes multiple days into the future. I just installed a second Dish 
so I could get BBC on Astra 28.2 and was surprised that there are only ever 
two EPG entries, NOW and NEXT. Your data looks like the solution.

Thanks for the great work on your site.

Cheers Brian
