Unfortunately none of us have experience using BladeRunner but according to the documentation I found here it looks like you just add xmltvDownload as a "grabber".

Any BladeRunner experts care to comment?


Thanks,
Here is how I got it to qork with Bladerunner:

Like suggested, I added a new grabber entry. I have all the files downloaded and the config (ChannelSetting.xml & xmltvDownload.exe.config(username and password like in oztivo)) customised for my channels. I copy them to the bladerunner directory and add this for the argument in bladerunner entry:

ChannelSettings.xml C:\WINDOWS\ehome\BladeRunnerPro\GuideData\XMLTV.xm l

And then bladerunner will process your file fine. (no space in the .xml line tho)

Update: all fine now, I just removed the config & channels file and ran the new gui configuration and all is ok.
