[QUOTE="glenb83, post: 921139, member: 91087"] Hi all, I am having a really hard time getting reliable tv guide data for Australian free to air (freeview) in Sydney/Wollongong. I used to use a pci tv tuner and the ota guide data and it worked flawlessly! I have since switched to a USB tuner and would get a long delay then a no signal message on all channels if I had epg data on. Since turning it off, I have had reliable tv but broken guide data. I tried webepg but couldn't find reliable data for some of the newer freeview channels. The best option so far has been using XMLTV and the data from this site - [url]http://www.siliconhill.com.au/shepherd/[/url] Problem is that I have to go to the site, download/extract the gz file and then rename the output.xml file to tvguide.xml and import with xmltv. Is there any way I can automate this process, or does someone have any other suggestions? The OTA was by far the simplest but is just not an option anymore. I also noticed xmltv has a remote option, perhaps there is a tvguide.xml with the data I need somewhere out there that I can link up to? Any help would be much appreciated. THANKS!! [/QUOTE]
