[mythtv-users] Having two xmltv sources for the one card input

Hi David,

What I do is take a copy of the tv_grab_au script and call it 
tv_grav_au_fta.  I configure the fta script for fta broadcasts and 
modify it so it uses a different download directory.  then I run a 
script which runs both of the tv_grab_au scripts in turn, uses sed to 
modify the xmltv id's of the fta channels to make them look like optus 
channels, then run mythfilldatabase on both of the xmltv files.

That works well for me.

I'm at work at the moment so I don't have access to my scripts, but if 
you're interested I can post them to you off-list (or on-list if anyone 
else is interested).

I figure for your other card which does FTA only, you can just use one 
script for that input.
