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
