[mythtvnz] EPG a possible alternative

[Tim Lockyer]

I am sorry I do not agree. Maybe if you only use FreeView where the EPG
information is easy. But for paid TV it is different. EPGSnoop is a very
good thing, I am thankful every day for the person who wrote it, but it is
difficult to install for many and especially new people to Linux. I often
demonstrate and tell people about MythTV and always finish by say it is
very difficult to set-up and maintain. And not recommending they try. If
the paid TV EPG information was as available as Freeview information I
really think it would make a different. It may not be broken – but can it
be made easier and better. I remember how much easier it was before 2010
with the excellent EPG tutorials.
