[mythtv-users] tv_grab_au - changover to OzTivo - Timezone problems

[Support [ Ian Ward ]]

Hi all.

I just changed over and thought I'd share the following:

Went to :
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~willu/xmltv/tv_grab_au_reg.html

Of course I didn't read the instructions properly.  Had major problems 
with Timezones as OzTivo data is GMT.

Basically though...

Registered with OZTivo
Set my preferences to xml listings and the sydney channels

Needed to go into mythtv-setup and in global settings, change "Time 
offset for XMLTV listings to "Auto"
I decided rather than use --graboptions "--force-explicit-timezone" for 
mythfilldatabase, I would set the timezone for each channel
I set my local channel name  to "nsw.abc.gov.au" etc, for backward 
compatibility with the old ninemsn script.

my mythtv users crontab is now:
/usr/bin/mythfilldatabase --graboptions "--days=14"
Looking forward to having 14 days of data seeing all of us are going to 
be contributing.. ;)

Here is my config file ( for Sydney obviously )

[mythtv at raptor .xmltv]$ pwd
/var/lib/mythtv/.xmltv
[mythtv at raptor .xmltv]$ more tv_grab_au_reg.xml
