Windows 10, MP 1.12.

Using donation version of mc2xml from microsoft to create tvguide.xml

Once I switched to the donated version of mc2xml and the microsoft server I get a parsing EntityName error.

It appears to come from a "&" in the icon url.

Any ideas on how to fix this so I can get my tvguide back?

Thank you so much for the help.

Here is the error log.

Here is my tvguide.xml.  The icon tag is in line 751, position 208 is near the "&" symbol.
