EPG Grabber Script - updated for Myth 0.25

Due to an update in the syntax of mythfilldatabase in 0.25, the small
shell script I wrote to grab and automatically insert the EPG data has
changed slightly to:

#! /bin/bash
wget http://nzepg.org/freeview.xml.gz
gunzip freeview.xml.gz
mythfilldatabase --file --sourceid 1 --xmlfile freeview.xml
rm freeview.xml
exit

For more on the syntax change, see the MythTV Wiki
(http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythfilldatabase).

Does anyone know if EPGSNOOP will also have to be changed?

epgsnoop doesn't need changing because isn't used directly to interface
with mythtv.

If you're using tv_grab_nz-py then you don't need to change anything,
mythbackend runs it automatically.

why not simply use xmltv via tv_grab_nz-py ?

When Sky TV a couple of years ago stopped their listings being put on the
Internet I changed I EPGSNOOP which has worked really well. I did not know
there was an alternative.

Thanks for the information.

When I set my MythTV up, Arch was already using Python 2, which meant
the tv_grab_nz-py script wasn't detected in the backend setup.
Although it now is, I haven't ever got around to using it - besides it
seems more complicated than my method (the py script is certainly more
wordy!) and as both scripts source from the same EPG data, I went with
the easy, cron-able option :)
