</div>There are other ways.<br>
If you have a DVB-S setup then you can get the information directly from<br>
the incoming stream.<br>
epgsnoop would be the tool to use.<br>
<br>
What I'd like is something like 'shepherd' which the aussies use. It<br>
looks at what channels you have defined. Looks at ALL the ways of<br>
getting guide data:<br>
. scraping official websites<br>
. scraping other websites<br>
. community based guide information<br>
<br>
Downloads them all and uses some quite cool rules to determine the best<br>
source for any given show.<br>
<br>
It's an awesome system as I'm sure those who have used it will agree.<br>
It's what the majority of MythTV users in Aus are using I believe as it<br>
has native myth database support<br>
<br>
I've spoken to the developers in the past and they are open to the idea<br>
of a .nz branch.<br>
Anyone care to have a look?<br>
<br>
It would mean that you could point shepherd at riven, <a href="http://epg.pvr.geek.nz" target="_blank">epg.pvr.geek.nz</a>,<br>
tvnz/canwest websites, your own sat dish, and get the best of all worlds.<br>
