[mythtv-users] Problem with TV_grab_au 0.6 - New source

[jkingkard-hotmail at yahoo.com.au]

Hello Andrew,

After your last e-mail I've been through your Twiki
and had a read of what you have.

I downloaded Wktivoguide and as per your suggestion am
investigating using your slices (which seem
impressively complete thus far though I've only read
one) as an alternative data source.

I like this part -- if I incorporate your data I might
look at writing a plugin that links into your guide
editing system - but one step at a time.

> We cover all states (have for 3 years), all areas
including country lineups.
> We cover PayTV (Sat+Cable), FTA Digital channels
(just the main ones, ie all
> the sub channels are not covered).

This is brilliant -- I'm in WA (Perth) with Foxtel
Digital Cable and to cobble together a solution from
existing (almost past) sources is difficult.

I guess it is strength in numbers that will allow us
to move forward.

Well so far, I can decode your slices on the fly from
TiVo to text format, add a little bit of sorting and
wrapping and you've (hopefully) got XMLTV... I'll let
the list know when I've got something.

Wish I'd read your site *earlier*,
