Summary: tv_grab_fi does not set "stop"

Initial Comment:
tv_grab_fi does not set the "stop" setting to the last program of the day like this

<programme start="20070226030000 +0200" channel="3.telkku.com">

second last and all the others are correct like the following

<programme start="20070226002500 +0200" stop="20070226030000 +0200" channel="3.telkku.com">

This ultimately causes my choice of gui - mtvg - not to show those programs in its listings. For example I cant see Oscars from Nelonen because its the last programme of that day and does not have "stop" set in *.xml.

this is not a bug.  The XMLTV specification says the STOP time is
*OPTIONAL*.  

Chances are, the grabber simply doesn't know the stop time when the record
is written. (It's on a different source web page)

You can run the data through tv_sort, which will guess stop time based on
the next episode on the same channel if it is not set.  Of course you'll
still miss the last stop time on the last day.
