There are also two other possible benefits depending on the source you use:<br><ol><li>Consistency of title names, so that (for example) House , 'House MD' and 'Mouse M.D.' all appear the same, which is helpful for series linking.</li>
<li>Retrieval of IMDB or other Internet based information.<br></li></ol> -- simon<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/9/4 mythtv <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mythtv@jagds.com">mythtv@jagds.com</a>></span><br>

<p><span lang="EN-NZ">I
have both DVB-T and DVB-S cards in my Myth box, and use Freeview only. I have
been happily using EIT data, but have noted comments that some people have made
about xmltv data being superior, so I have downloaded tv_grab_nz-py and
installed it. As far as I got was having it download channels (not all Freeview
channels were listed) and running mythfilldatabase, but on first test no cards
using this source would tune.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-NZ"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-NZ">Before
I go any further, can anyone advise on what makes the xmltv data a superior
solution to just using EIT?</span></p>
