I would say you need to fix this problem first - it may be the cause<br>
of your troubles. Have you installed the PPA so that you are getting<br>
the v33-fixes version, rather than the original v33 in the standard<br>
packages? When doing a big upgrade (between versions or changing to<br>
the PPA) I have on occasion had the mythbackend package not install<br>
until some of the other new MythTV packages were installed. Running<br>
"apt update && apt full-upgrade && apt autoremove" a second time fixed<br>
this. Note the "full-upgrade" option.<br>

There are two sorts of EIT EPG data, transmitted as separate streams.<br>
The first is now/next data - it is only for the current programme and<br>
the next programme. It seems like that is the data you are getting,<br>
and I always thought that MythTV did not get that data. The other EIT<br>
stream is full data for a week, which is the one you want.<br>
<br>
For New Zealand, I do not recommend just using the over-the-air EIT<br>
data, as there is information in it in non-standard formats (such as<br>
series and episode numbers) that really should be processed to convert<br>
it to the proper xmltv format before it is read by MythTV. The way<br>
you do that is to grab the EIT or MHEG5 EPG data using an external<br>
program, then process that data using the xlmtv-proc-nz program. There<br>
are install instructions on list archives for doing this with<br>
mhegepgsnoop, including the workaround for using HDHR tuners. But it<br>
is not all in one intelligible post. So if you need or want to try<br>
this, you should probably ask here for proper instructions.<br>
