Wow thanks for the hint..:) i have just set it to run the tv_grab_dvb every 20 mins, and listings are appearing for ITV2 and ITV3 -

I had  just assumed that they didnt broadcast them...

I missed the discussion of this on the list - do they only broadcast a bit of the schedule at a time or something? first of all I got now and next, but now future shows are showing up :)

cheers

If you let mythtv tune the card I find it doesn't matter anyway. i.e
tv_grab_dvb works just fine at the same time. I just run it in a cron
job. Admittedly I've chosen the time to be one where no re-tunes are
likely. (this is with a nova-t for dvb-t)

I assume you mean the complete lack of listings for ITV3 :)

How do you run it hourly without it interfering with your recordings? i
currently stop mythbackend and run

#!/bin/bash
echo Checking Channel $1
/home/george/bin/checkchannel $1 > /dev/null
/home/george/bin/tv_grab_dvb > /tmp/listings.xml
mythfilldatabase --no-delete --file 1 0 - < /tmp/listings.xml

where checkchannel tunes to the channel in question:

#!/bin/bash
export freq=`echo \($1*8+306\)*1000000-166666 | bc`
#echo $freq
dvbtune -f $freq -i

Can you set mythtv to do all this automatically? when I was testing DVB-T
EPG stuff, I found it was only broadcast on some channels. Surely if you did
an hourly grab, it would re-tune the dvb card to that mux?


Is it possible to grab the EPG data while myth is actually recording?

thanks
