Trying to set up emulator in Norway...

Hurrah! Problem solved.

I applied the series.patch patch (using -R) (available from forums.tivocanada.com) to xmltv2tivo, and recompiled. The generated text slices now contain Series data records, and the resulting writeguide slices are correctly downloaded and interpreted by the Tivo.

Thanks timmy and thomson for the good advice, especially thomson for spotting that the Series records were missing.

No worries David. I have been playing with the headend and listing slices for a while. I use to create my own, but now have a process whereby I take a complete listing slice and "massage it" so that it only contains the channels that I am interested in. Hence I have a pretty good idea of what needs to be in a slice

SideNote: The Series entries have been required for the TiVo software since version 2.5, so the chances are that the tools you were using were written quite a while ago.
