<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>

Noel.<br>
