<br>
Could someone contact me off-list wrt activating the EPG grabber py.<br>
<br>
I'm Linux literate, and have re-vamped most of the menus for our own needs, but...<br>
<br>
I need a shove in the right direction to implement the automated script to harvest the fruits of the EPG fairy!<br>
<br>
After many years of MythTV being in our home, we're getting a bit over missing programs because they are "all new" etc.<br>
<br>
Many thanks<br>
<br>
Noel.<br>
