[mythtvnz] EPG Data from Sky Sat

[Dean Pemberton]

Tim.


You don't need to load the sky frequencies and associated channels into 
mythtv at all, epgsnoop is the only thing which needs to know about them.
The normal way people do this is to run dvbtune on the right freq in the 
background, and then start off epgsnoop.
I would also suggest that you make sure you have your epgsnoop 
channel.conf file set up correctly and that it has the channels you want 
in it.

Here are the lines I run.  Your frequencies and setup for dvbtune might 
be different.


dvbtune -f 1919000 -s 22500 -tone 1 -p h -m  2>/dev/null & 
/usr/bin/epgsnoop -q --config-dir=/root/.epgsnoop/sky 
--processors=StripHtml,Widescreen,Credits,Year,CategoryList,MovieTitle,MovieDesc,Subtitle,SkyRatings 
 > /tmp/epg/sky-1919000.xml
