[mythtvnz] Nova-T 500 working with Freeview HD

[Aaron Drysdale]

Hi,

Are the instructions following still correct?
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/mythtvnz/290834

It's just that these are pretty old (2007). I think you wrote this, so I
am sure you'll know.

Also, how do you choose the source? Or does the script just default to
epg.pvr.geek.nz/pvr? Is it possible to change a URL in the script to
point to xmltv.co.nz instead?

Thanks

DVB-T in NZ doesn't use EIT (except perhaps now/next). If you want
consistent data across multiple sources then you're best to use an XML
data source. There's one available at epg.pvr.geek.nz/epg and I see a
new one has popped up at xmltv.co.nz.

You can use tv_grab_nz-py to grab the data with mythfilldatabase. If you
search the list archives it's been discussed a few times.
