I have just uploaded an updated build that fixes these blank programs.
It also features an improved gui with better TV listing browsing and a
more robust internal listings filter.

When you click Download or the time is 7am, xAPTV runs XMLTV to download
new listings. This download can take upto 4 minutes! After the file is
downloaded, XMLTV parses the file and saves it to an xml file, this can
take a minute or so. During all this the only way to see that XMLTV is
doing anything is to look in the task manager and see if its running.
I will try and improve on this process and make it a bit more obvious
and add a re-collection if the first fails.

That depends on various factors, mainly coffee and sleep. I will leave
the answer up to you
