#526 tv_grab_uk_tvguide DateTime::from_epoch(.., .., undef) throws exception

[emused]

I'm seeing grabs fail for more and more channels when an exception is thrown. Channels that failed today: 601, 605, 993. The page for 605, https://my.tvguide.co.uk/channellisting.asp?ch=605 is attached. --debug output

Thanks for the report.

The issue was with the rebranding of channels to include "Christmas" e.g. Christmas 24, True Christmas.

This is now fixed on github:
https://github.com/XMLTV/xmltv/blob/master/grab/uk_tvguide/tv_grab_uk_tvguide

Please can you raise any future issues on GH as the repository is maintained there now rather that on SF.

Thanks.
