[mythtvnz] TV3 => Three

[Karl - skooobie]

Robert F and I shared a few images of our respective schedules (mine with
EIT) and Robert's at the time with Schedules Direct, when it was trialed a
little while back. We found the differences to be trivial and amount of
days 7-8 too little to worry about. Meaning EIT (over the air delivered)
was sufficient for our needs. For interest here is a few pics between EIT
and Scheduels Direct. The grabbers show information levels in between the
two. So as you can see no real difference. The first images show the png
icons and how they display of further interest.


I'll send some follow up pics for Schedules Direct, daily mythfill and
Mythweb's replacement.



*EIT* (native in mythtv) =>

I used to run a small python script I wrote to check the mythfill remaining
days and if it dropped below 5 it would email me and always wrote to a log
in any case. On checking the log it was never below 5 for well over a year
that I tested it and forgot about it. Then I checked and stopped the daily
cron.



Hope this helps

Karl
