</div>At first glance, your satellite.xmltv file is not in the correct<br>
format. It needs to be a valid config file for the tv_grab_uk_rt<br>
grabber, not the output of tv_grab_uk_rt --list-channels based on your<br>
current channel selection.<br>
<br>
A valid XMLTV config file contains lines like, which is generated when<br>
the grabber is called with the --configure option:<br>
