hello there far more intelligent people,

i try to do things the easy way and am having trouble with the tv guide updating...
here in little old New Zealand, our tv guide is now being sent in a format that Nextpvr can read natively, so no need for any 3rd party xml grabber...yay..
but i have to manually update the epg by going into the settings\channels\updateepg...

so boring...

i have seen talk of people writing batch files for the likes of xmltv to auto update, so i thought why not write a script for nextpvr to update the epg for me...
but what should i write in the .bat file in the scripts folder...

or do i write a batch file that i can run from the windows scheduler ?

...help me ob-wan kanobi...your my only hope (message repeats...)

My batch file which I run from windows scheduler is as follows

"C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\NextPVR.exe" -updateepgonly

NextPVR will do a daily automatic update which you can configure to be a quiet time http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...tion.Misc2
