Very odd, no idea why it is trying to import an xmltv file, mine isn't!

I wonder if it is remembering your previous settings, do you have any post processing selected, could you try it on a different computer?
Or try to output the file to a separate folder.

Now this is strange. I turned on the "Save Log" option, then re-ran the EPG grab. This time it DID generate the XML file, but when I view the EPG using the Argus web interface it is showing all of the programme listings 5 hours earlier than the schedule data. For example, it is showing the BBC 10 o'clock news starting at 17:00. The data in tvguide.xml is correct however.

I did have my Windows time zone set to GMT -5h for a while yesterday (it's a long story), but I reset it to GMT before shutting down and rebooting today. Maybe it's a coincidence, but could Argus TV still think that my PC is operating in the GMT -5 timezone and if so, how can I correct it?
