Yeah, I've got a couple of these at the bottom of the file too. It may be a 
problem with the script but it seems that Sky are sending the start date as 
0xffffffffff which isn't valid so we can't convert it.

It's also been pointed out to me that Sky have been sending HTML in the 
title/description fields, I don't think this has affected anything so far but 
I'm keeping an eye on it.
