Thanks again Steve.

Another tidbit I had no idea about.  8)


I'm now grabbing the freeview based xml file from epgsnoop (off 
transponder 12483), splitting that with tv_split by channel, taking 
the resulting tvnz6 and sportextra xml files and merging them with 
tv_cat with the sky based file produced by epgsnoop (from transponder 
12519) and ending up with one file that has Sky lineups, One, TV2, 
TV3, C4 (using sky timings) and Sport Extra.

Woohoo!

This file is available at epg.hotblack.co.nz if anyone wants to have a play.

And if anyone else is doing freeview for the V8s like I am, then the 
following sql may help to identify them until TVNZ adds meaningful 
metadata

UPDATE program SET title='V8 Supercars' WHERE title='TVNZ Sport 
Extra' AND chanid=XXXX AND (description LIKE '%V8%' AND description 
LIKE 'TVNZ Sport Extra brings you R%');

Just replace XXXX with your Sport Extra chanid, and run this after 
each mythfilldatabase.
