ffs Oscar, the first hit on google is a perl script that I've been using fine for about 6 months now:

http://www.onlinetractorparts.com.au/rohbags/xmltvau/


This is the one I currently tested.

It does not work for me.  There are tv_grab_??  for other countries from
www.xmltv.org like:

tv_grab_jp    for   Japan   -  I can run this and it gives the correct list.

There is tv_grab_na  for North America, for UK, Germany, etc., but NONE
for Australia in this source.

I am using Fedora Core 2 and you are using Debian. I am using FusionHDTV DV3-T. What HDTV card are you using ?

For my linux platform, the following is the MythTV HOWTO I used and got me to install
with no errors.


http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php

I can use the above to re-install everytime. In other words, the HOWTO is replicable with
the same results everytime, i.e., Weather Pages with all the details comes up but NO TV channels.
Just black and blank screen, no shadow or something like that.


This is because tv_grab_au (from http://www.onlinetractorparts.com.au/rohbags/xmltvau/)
does not work successfully on my installation. I'll try this perl version again and the python
version suggested in another post.









I don't get what part of mythtv even needs a howto.  The docs on the
mythtv site are excellent and using mdz's pre-built Debian packages
makes it ridiculously simple:
