I have been using foxtel.com.au guide successfully for about 15 months. Two weeks ago, it stopped working.
The site channels I use are as in my config file.
The zipped files have had my identification and passwords removed.
I greatly appreciate any help you can give me to get this guide working again.

I am working on....
Talk with authors, works fine for them.i get no index....we use 2 different vpn's. Are you in australia or using vpn also ?
I am in Australia and I do not use a vpn.
it's strange, a user (in Canada) and the author (totalav vpn) works. Myself(ghostvpn) and another user(purevpn) doesn't work.
this is what i get
[ Info ] ( 1/1 ) FOXTEL.COM.AU -- chan. (xmltv_id=ACT-Canberra LifeStyle) -- mode Force
[Warning ] error downloading page: Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden).
[Error ] Unable to update channel ACT-Canberra LifeStyle
[Critical] Generic syntax exception:
[Critical] message:
[Error ] no index page data received from ACT-Canberra LifeStyle
[Error ] unable to update channel, try again later
[ Info ] Existing guide data restored!
the "forbidden" is clearly a firewall or something that is blocking me, but the strange thing is that i can open the page online no problem!!
attached the test of the user in Canada
I can confirm that here in Canada connected to vpn (wevpn) to Vancouver works fine. I haven't tried other locations but will test later. Without vpn I get straight forbidden error
Just noticed the web page for this guide is now showing the reCaptcha symbol. I am in Australia no VPN using Edge Browser
Am I the only person trying to use Foxtel?
I have never used a VPN is this my only solution?
Which country should I try to use to get by the reCapture block?
I don't mind spending the money on a VPN but which one and will it work?
I have looked at the section on writing .ini files it is well above my ability which runs out at setting up a guide with a working .INI file.
Would it be easier to request an .ini for another site, there are others in Australia with a Foxtel Guide.
(xmlepg.net) (ontvtonight.com/au/guide/) are a couple I have found. The Foxtel site is by far the best guide accurate and has two weeks of data.
well totalav (antivirus vpn) and wevpn seems not to have problem...
I'm having the same issue and I'm not using a VPN. I think my problem started around the same time yours did.
I am now using Schedules Direct lots of Australian Data including Foxtel and Freeview works direct with my PVR Software. I will keep an eye on this thread in case someone comes up with a solution. The Webgrab guide from the Foxtel Site was the best guide I ever had. For years I used oztivo, but that ended up with no data years ago, then yourtv for a few years then last year foxtel. Recently I have only had an unsatisfactory guide from yourtv which I had to mess around with every day.
