I haven't the foggiest idea - I traced it from
http://www.managemyhome.co.nz/ and since it didn't require much work to
make use of it...

BTW: an NZ google of epgmce finds it as the top hit

It looks very like the feed you get from xmltvnz (see my previous posts re
that http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/mythtvnz/193730)

That feed needs zipping (for a 90% saving)

Feed should be active tonight, dish is installed (along with a different
LNB from Sky.. interesting!) and I just need to get it back into running
shape.

Cool good to have it back although I'll have my dish up and running this week
hopefully...

Sky are installing a twin LNB so when Optus D1 is launched in June they are
all set when B1 is decommissioned for some of their subscribers... anyone who
calls up with a fault and has a vist are getting them swapped over...

I've gone free-to-air with 3 LNB's cause I could not afford $70 odd a month
with Sky and still not get NASA TV even though it comes off B1 and it's there
for grabs free...

Let us know when your guide is back up. Manual recording is such a pain.

Also pass on any more info you have on this new LNB of theirs.

Will be a couple more days, PVR PSU has decided to pack it in :|

It's got two feed horns, but only one output. Has a different LOF than
the LNB they've previously used, it's 10.75GHz. Installer mentioned it
was to provide for "transparent" switching to D1.

Somewhat unclear anyway, D1 is going into the same orbital slot, and
while it now has one horn offset from the other, is that intended to
cover some other slot as well? It'd have to be pretty close to 160E as
well, the dish doesn't appear to be shaped in a way that would provide
more coverage.

More questions than answers about the future it seems.

However:

DVB-S wins. IMO the right decision, DVB-T was never going to get the
coverage desired.

Here's a good story on the new D1 and D2 Optus satellites and what there going
to be used for...

Well that explains it - Sky are planning on using D2 on 156 as a
backup to D1. I wonder how well it picks up 156.

Good news everybody. PSU got replaced. Feed _should_ be stable now.

(I still can't get Myth to tune to the new LNB properly, but that
doesn't affect EPG feeding :) )
