[mythtvnz] Epgsnoop how to use mythfilldatabase to load the listings.xml data

[Joel Wiramu Pauling]

If you installed the mythweb part when you did your install you can see all

there also).

The source id is actually the mapping of the epg source to adaptor ordering,
rather than adaptor specifically.
