On arrival to the campground in my RV, I setup XMLTV with <span style="color: rgb(36, 41, 46); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji"; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite </span>for the local zipcode and manually setup channels and scanned the channels then ran mythfilldatabase. I also setup the automatic program update to occur 12 midnight to 1AM.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>So now all I do is turn on the phone Hotspot when I go to bed and plug up the phone to the charger. The program guide data is updated as normal and the hotspot is still on in the morning.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>So the manual part is mostly what I do anyway; plug up the phone to the charger. The additional part is just turning on the Hotspot.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Thanks for all the suggestions.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Jim A</div><div><br class=""></div><div><br class=""></div><div><br class=""></div></body></html>
