[mythtvnz] EPG NZ howto - using the "nice" feed

[Zane Gilmore]

Well after following these instructions I can no longer see any channels 
at all :-/
However I can see the wonderful program guide in all it's glory but 
there is absolutely no sign of anything on the TV side that looks like a 
watchable channel.

When I try to watch TV all I get is static and when I try to change 
channel initially I got a sort of title screen thingy stating I was 
looking at Scooby Doo or whatever.

When I manually went thru all of the 40 odd channels from sky from that 
free to air and set all of the non free ones to no video source then the 
pop-up thing was empty it still refused to change channel or show any TV.

AFAICT the step (7) that you speak of and the channel numbers were the 
Frequency channel numbers but it doesn't appear to be the case.

I am running a Hauppage PVR150. No Sky or digital or satellite.

I am now thinking that I am going to have to run that scan thing again 
then manually attach the scanned channels with the XML.

Does this sound correct?
