Help with dvb epg broadcast NZ

Flyndr · 2010-03-29, 11:32 PM

I have been using xmltv NZ untill it seems to have failed a few weeks ago and i havent been able to fix it. Never mind - ill just use broadcast listings. I set this up and scanned for update. I get the listings ok but only for the next 2 hours (TV1,2,3) I have rescanned all channels and they are appropriately mapped (on both tuners). Has anybody else had this problem??

Incidentally I have installed the latest version of GBPVR and tried to insert geekzone URL in xml settings - the browser drew a blank on the URL hence i am now trying broadcast program guide. Using win xp

dvb-t will only give you 2 hours
dvb-s will give you a week

ok that settles that. I now have a problem with freeview NZ epg. This mysteriously stopped working. I have tried the URL direct in the file name - it and the epg grabber do not seem to recognise the URL. Is it still working??

What URL are you talking about?

http://epg.pvr.geek.nz/epg/listings-freeview.xml.gz For freeview Nz xml

This seems to work but no listings appear in program guide. This is the url i have entered for xmltv plugin - settings

I am using freeview nz xml. URL is http://epg.pvr.geek.nz/epg/listings-freeview.xml.gz

I have entered this in xmltv plugin in file location under settings
Update EPG runs without errors but no details in program guide

Apparently that particular EPG source has been taken down after a 'cease and desist' letter from Sky.

I remember seeing a discussion about it a week or so ago at http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?for...icid=58524
