Hi there,
Could anyone tell me what grabber people are using these days (free one of course)? Mine stopped working as of 31 of March. Thanks.

This one works with the oztivo data that you would have been using before it stopped working after the 31 of March.
The boys over at http://www.epgstream.net/ put it together, it's free to use but you can donate if you like.

It's fairly easy to configure.
Just extract the files to where you would like to put them and then from a command prompt run xmltvDownload.exe/config
Under the Guide Service tab put, http://minnie.tuhs.org/xmltv/channels.xml for the channel address.
Then put http://minnie.tuhs.org/xmltv/datalist.xml for the data address.
Put your oztivo user name and password in and leave the domain box blank.

Next click, on the Channel list tab and click on Refresh and you should see a list of all the channels Oztivo have to offer.
Just put a tick next to the channels you would like to download and then click on the XMLTV tab and under the Output XMLTV File: leave it as xmltv.xml or name it anything you like with the .xml extension.

Then make sure you hit save changes and you are done.

Now from a command prompt, run xmltvDownload.exe and let it rip, you should have guide data where you saved the Output XMLTV File to.

Here is some more info about the grabber. http://forum.epgstream.net/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=79

The pre-release version has been updated with a new, released version.
You can get it here, http://forum.epgstream.net/download/file.php?id=84 and the info about the grabber is here, http://forum.epgstream.net/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=232

My xmltv download stopped working (I've been using this one for the last couple of years I think: http://minnie.tuhs.org/xmltv/channels.xml.gz), does anyone know what happened? Thank you.

I'll rephrase my previous question. What xmltv grabbers is everyone using (the free ones)?

Thank you.

I have run into the same problem myself, after changing the URL as follow and it works again. Apparently, the DNS names have been changed.
