[mythtvnz] EPG data

[Alistair Dunn]

Hi,
I've been using an epg download to populate MythTV (Ubuntu) for freeview 
and non-freeview channels for the last few years, but unfortunately it 
hasn't been updated in a few days and its now almost run out. So, I 
suppose its time for me to look at how to go about implementing my own 
grabber to generate the data directly (unless, of course there is a 
simpler alternative). Can anyone help with a pointer or a guide to help 
a relative Linux newbie figure out the steps needed to generate the epg 
from a cable source in NZ. I suspect I'll be needing a tuner card 
(recommendations?) and a method to process the stream to extract the xml 
guide data. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Alistair
