Ok I installed PTVL and gave it another try. WebLink accepts the file that I manually created with XMLTV (latest version), however it doesn't parse it correctly: for instance, some channel names are wrong (they simply show up as numbers). It also doesn't use the extended program information of XMLTV.

I also tried Zap2it, that is I registered on their page and then tried to run WebLink. It doesn't work for me though, comes up with the message "WARNING - Error (500) returned from Zap2it Data Direct".

What's worse, PTVL isn't VGA-aware. When I run my PDA in 640x480 mode, only a part of PTVL only shows on the screen, and I cannot navigate properly.

Sniff, I know that PTVL has a nicer TV layout than TVGuide, but TVGuide works much better on VGA devices plus it fully supports open-source XMLTV.
