Have you set your preferred download type to XMLTV rather than "V2
stationday format"?

I have the following settings - and it seems to be working now...
(for Adelaide )

Thank you. Your list of preferred stations is now:
31-Adl, ABC-SA, ABC2, Nine-SA, SBS-NEWS, SBS-SA, Seven-SA, Ten-SA.
Your preferred download format is xmltv.
You will not be shown as the uploader of guide data.
You will not see season and episode numbers on episode lists.
Your full-day guide will displayed in (traditional) compact form.

You will see up to 7 days worth of guide data on the top page.

after changing the line in the config file with the invalid comment it
worked fine for me.
