[mythtvnz] XMLTVNZ installation

[Jason Taylor]

When I first went googling the first thing I found was xmlTVNZ, so thats
what I used

Also even after hearing about http://epg.pvr.geek.nz/epg/ there was no
indication about the python script http://nice.net.nz/scripts/tv_grab_nz-py

And then when I did install the script in a default mythbuntu install it
didnt work (time out issue due to so many tv xml scripts)

Even on http://pvr.geek.nz/w/index.php/Listings#epg.pvr.geek.nz the first
method is screen scraping... guess which one you'd try first

Also whats the legal stand point of these.... it seems like hosting a zip
file might be seen as distributing where as a screen scraping is person use?
not sure, not being a lawyer and all
