"Invalid Character" on multiple IPTV services

[laetha]

Any time I try to add a new XMLTV I get the following error:
XML syntax error on line 217: invalid character entity &E (no semicolon)
This happens with IPTV providers that have used to work in the past, and it has happened for every IPTV service I've trialed in the last week (at least three services).

I've searched quite a bit for solutions and the answer always seems to be "The IPTV provider is providing a bad M3U file", but this is multiple providers, including ones that used to be fine. It seems like xTeve is unable to handle anything with an ampersand. I'm just wondering if that's intended or if there's a new bug or restriction.

Thanks!
