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

[Zane Gilmore]

Yippee,

It all seems to be going now.

What I did was what I threatened.

- I ran the scan thing on the connection part of myth-setup
- then went through the xml looking for the ID numbers of all of the
   channels that I have access to taking note of them
- then added them as the XML id number in the channel editor

I am now experiencing the EPG in all it's GUI goodness.

Now all I have to do is ensure that my cron job is reliable.

Thanks for the help

Next thing to suss out is the DVD player and writer.
I'll put that on another thread.

Will have a look but I think it is all moot now



Thanks again,
