Programme Guide
to get the NZ epg data working I gave up trying to get mythfilldatabase 
working the way its meant to. instead I wrote this shell script and 
added it to the crontab once a day..
 
 cd /home/mythtv
 rm -f /home/mythtv/latest.xml
 wget http://hairy.geek.nz/epg/latest.xml.gz
 gzip -d latest.xml.gz
 mythfilldatabase --file 1 -1 latest.xml --update
 
before you run this you need to import the nz channels,
 
 wget http://hairy.geek.nz/epg/latest.xml.gz
 gzip -d latest.xml.gz
 mythfilldatabase --file 1 -1 latest.xml --manual
 and answer all the questions (hint: use 
http://hairy.geek.nz/epg/service-ids.txt to figure out which channel is 
which)
