Hi, I'm in New Zealand and using Bladerunner/xmltvnz to collect EPG data for both NPVR and WMC.

Today I've got no data for the channels where the data was collected from the tvnz website, so TV1, TV2, TV3, etc. I looked in the xmlTVNZMarkers.xml file and found where it keeps the urls, it says:
<Address>http://tvnz.co.nz/content/%cc%?date=%dateddMMyyyy%</Address>
and
<Address>http://listings.tvnz.co.nz/freeview/%cc%_7days.xml</Address>

but to find the listings I need to look at:
http://tvnz.co.nz/tv-guide?day=03&month=12
Note that not only the fixed part has changed, but the layout of the date has changed.

Alternatively, if I set the source in the getlistings.bat to sat instead of default, it seems that Saturn have changed too. Their xmlTVNZMarkers.xml entry is:
<Address>http://www.telstraclear.co.nz/residential/inhome/homemedia/tvg-griddown-base.cfm?h=0&amp;v=gd&amp;d=%dateyyyy-MM-dd%&amp;c=all&amp;f=24&amp;user_chan_list=%cc%</Address>
And the actual url looks like:
http://www.telstraclear.co.nz/residentia...g-grid.cfm

Also in the xmlTVNZMarkers.xml is:
<Address>%prefix%%RegexResult%</Address>
<Expression>(tvg-program-info.cfm?)(.*?)(?=(','))</Expression>
<Replacements>
<Replacement key="%prefix%">http://www.telstraclear.co.nz/residential/inhome/homemedia/</Replacement>
</Replacements>
And this is what it seems to use for some other channels (like sky1) which it is finding the epg data for.

This is beyond me. Can anyone else in NZ tell me how they are managing.

I think I've got it sussed for telstraclear ("sat"), I edited the lines for the channel codes to match what I found in the "page source" of the web-page, e.g. tv1 changed from TV1S to TV1HD:
<Channel code="TV1HD" cid="tv1" />

Also by adding entries in the "channels" section of the file, I can also add new channels, e.g.
<Channel cid="travelchannel" name="Travel Channel" category="Sky: News &amp; Documentaries" default="Saturn" virtualchannel="77" icon="http://www.gbpvr.com/logo/documentarychannel.jpg" longestshowperiod="0" />

So that works OK for TV1, TV2, Prime, TVNZ6&7 but telstraclear/saturn isn't giving any TV3 data at the moment so I'll have to look elsewhere for that.
