Thank you for the clarification. I think I was confused by the 2 gentoo
packages, mono from http://www.go-mono.com/ and monodevelop from
http://www.monodevelop.com/

There are certainly mono packages in testing or unstable, but there were
a confusing number of things with "mono" in the name.

I think I will leave xmlTVNZ to run on my work gentoo server, which can
then serve a gzipped tv.xml file to my home myth box.

When i get around to it.

BTW I have hound that the tv3 flag to xmlTVNZ has crashed it in the
past, the solution was to use sky_tv3
