[mythtvnz] Greetings

[James Gray]

Hello there, MythTV users... I'm from New Plymouth, and just joined
the list. I feel I should introduce myself...

My name is James, and my system is a Sempron 2200 with 256MB of RAM,
and a Single Hauppauge PVR-150 TV tuner. I run MythTV 0.19 on
Slackware 10.2.

This setup has been running quite nicely (though I wouldn't mind a
second tuner), although I am having issues where the LiveTV freezes at
the end of a program, which fixes itself if I change channels...

Anyways, after seeing various ways of getting XMLTV EPG data into
mythtv, I thought there might be a nicer way to do it, so I have
created a patch for mythtv -
http://stereocassettedeck.port5.com/other/mythtv-0.19-ontv.patch,
which adds an option to use tv_grab_nz_ontv to the mythtv-setup
program. For those of you that compile mythtv from source, this may
not be worthwhile on an already functioning mythtv system, but if you
need to set up another system in future, this is a somewhat nicer way
of doing things than say... symlinking tv_grab_au to tv_grab_nz_* or
manually downloading and importing the listings.
