<div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Thanks, but I do have a reason for wanting to know how this can be done
specifically <i>without </i>running setup. I could give you more details
if you like, but...if there is a simple answer without having to bore you
with the details....!...?<br><br>
<blockquote type="cite" cite="http://"><pre>> While running<br>mythtv-setup, you're asked to select your location, so that<br>> MythTV knows which tv_grab script mythfilldatabase has to call -<br>eg.<br>> choosing 'Australia' somehow instructs mythfilldatabase to use
<br>the<br>> tv_grab_au script instead of any of the other tv_grab scripts<br>available.<br>><br>> I'd like to know exactly how this works - or more specifically,<br>how can I<br>> select a different tv_grab script from the command line, ie.
<br>without running<br>> mythtv-setup again. What would I need to edit manually?<br></pre></blockquote>

Tthere are 2 ways of getting the EPG:<br>
<br>
1) Let myth run it<br>
2) Set up a cron job to run it from a shell script.<br>
<br>
I think most of us Aussies take the 2nd option as there isn't an
official tv_grab_au. So in the setup change whatever it is that calls
the tv_grab_au (can't remember here it is) and just do it all as a cron
job by setting up a shell script which a) runs tv_grab_au and b) runs
mythfilldatabase to load the data.<br>
<br>
I can share my shell script if you like.<br>
