Ok ive made some progress, i think its an ipv6 problem its very similar 
to a problem i had in firefox on another machine i had to disable ipv6 
to get it to load pages.
So on my mythbox when i ping http://nzepg.org  it must open a temporary 
connection or remember the routing for a set time or something like that 
because tv_grab_nz-py works for a few minutes then stops working until 
you ping it again.
So i thought is ipv6 is causing the problem then i will just disabled it 
like i did in firefox so i disableded ipv6 settings in ubuntu and restarted.
Now tv_grab_nz-py wont work at all, so now i need to set up a ipv6 
tunnel or something like that then i hope it might work, unless someone 
else can think of a better solution.

Thanks for your help so far.
