Thank you all for the pointer and recommendations. I have now
implemented all that is required.
However I now get the following error:

I don't understand why it would find an error in 1:1
Here is an extract of what running my xmltv grabber returns without arguments:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<tv generator-info-name="JY Avenard TPG's IPTV xmltv generator"
source-info-name="TPG's IPTV from various web
 sites">
  <channel id="tpg.tv5">
    <display-name lang="fr">
      TV5
    </display-name>
  </channel>
  <programme channel="tpg.tv5" start="20080327041300 +1100"
stop="20080327042700 +1100">
    <title>
      MAISONS DU SUD
    </title>
    <sub-title>
      Une série documentaire qui nous fait découvrir les plus
somptueuses demeures de Tunisie.
    </sub-title>
    <category>
      documentaire
    </category>
  </programme>

the python xml module I am using insert carriage return all the time,
so rather than having:
    <title>MAISONS DU SUD</title> like what most grabber I tested do, I output
    <title>
      MAISONS DU SUD
    </title>

Could this be a problem? xml-wise it is still perfectly okay, not sure
how mythtv would handle it though.

Thanks again for your help, very much appreciated.
