Comment (by Hans Dingemans):

 Replying to [comment:5 Gary Buhrmaster]:
 > Currently, invalid XMLTV files (which are a reality of life) will be
 rejected before processing the bad data.  It is not clear that this is
 still true (I have a hard time following the patch file results), and I
 would consider a failure to validate the entire file being a valid XML
 document *before* processing a serious regression (as bad XMLTV files are
 a reality, even with a zero return code from the grabber itself).

 I agree; the patch is a straight 1:1 recode of QDomDocument to
 QXmlStreamReader, which are in the same library. All checks have remained
 the same.

 However, the proof of the pudding is in the eating; if you have some real-
 life malformed XMLTV files, please send them to me or attach them here.
