[mythtvnz] New TVNZ Satellite Problem

[Tim, Donna & Erin Gibson]

Steve

Thanks for that...

I've been using the hairy feed for my 150mce since the machines birth, and 
when you said the TVNZ feed's don't have guide data now well did I role my 
eye's... so now I've a cron job running each day that executes a bash script 
that downloads, uncompresses and fills the database (was once now twice for 
the two cards).

Hope to go back to eit though...
