[mythtvnz] EPG Data from Sky Sat

[Tim Wiel]

okay I finally got around to getting trying this again

Here are the steps I have done so far:

1. In mythtv backend  into the (4) channel editor I use Channel Scanner
2. I have added to the dvb-s card the frequency 12671000 and framerate
22500000 and click next
3. the channels get scanned and it adds two new unencrypted channels
called CA2 Download Service and TS6 IEPG Data Service
4. I exit out then run epgsnoop -q > tvxml.xml
5. Once that has run I cat tvxml.xml | grep 1018.dvb.guide I only get
maybe two dozen programmes all listed on 25 December
6. Running sudo /usr/bin/mythfilldatabase --file 3 -1 tvxml.xml loads in
the data into all the other terrestial channels but not the full prime
data - only the 25 december of prime is loaded

Are there any suggestions or is SKY only giving me a christmas present
of prime sky listings on that day?

Thanks ahead.
