Thanks afedchin,

Actually yesterday I got the solution by replacing the first row of a working xml-epg with that one that didn't work. So, I didn't follow your advice, but thanks the same.

Now, I am using the xml directly generated with xmltv tv_grab. So, I'm not getting any reading errors.

In the meantime I found a very interesting python script to merge two xmltv files. If someone needs can ask me

Cheers

mc2xml is great at getting epg data and also merges xmltv files for you. you could even make a chl file and it will only get the channels you want, and even use a ren file to rename those channels to how you want them in the epg.
