<div>I then expected I would go into Mythtv backend setup and add a new video source where I could select epgsnoop. However epgsnoop is not one of the available
XML grabbers.<br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Epgsnoop doesn't work that way. I think that it's possible to work that way with xmltvnz (I think that's the name). But epgsnoop itself runs independently of MythTV. You can either run it totally separately (e.g. via cron) or use MythTV''s "run mythfilldatabase" setup screen to run it.<br>
