[mythtv-users] Looking for UK TV listings data from past 6 months

[eddie at ehuk.net]

Yes this is going to be a *lot* of work :)  There are maybe 150 recordings.

I will write a script that looks up all listings (on a selection of
channels I define) that started within a few minutes either side of the
start date.  So I would run e.g.

./lookupshows 1732_20091008200000.mpg

and it would spit out possible candidate listings from my favourite
channels.  I would then recognise the listing that applies from memory
and could copy and paste output from there into a separate script which
imports the recording with metadata required into new mythtv installation.

The one thing I need that I can't find is machine readable data of
freeview listings from the last 6 months or so.
