Re: grab xmltv from DVB device

Hi

I developed tv_grab_it_dvb several years ago, so I don't know if that
situation has changed, but in general the problem with dvb epg is that
almost all of the channels provide only now/next data in a standard way.
If you are looking for long term EPG, which I'm sure it's the case,
chanches are the provider is using some proprietary format.
Tv_grab_it_dvb grabs data for the italian sky provider, and could be made
to grab the english one, but that's it.
Most of the functions you need (tuning, grabbing streams...) is there, but
you need to know where the data you want is transmitted (frequency) and how
(format).
I got my info looking at the source code for plugins to vdr (they are in C,
but you can get the idea), there are many for many providers. So if you
find one for the provider you're looking for you could then modify
tv_grab_it_dvb accordingly.
By the way, I'm talking about dvb-s. I don't know if dvb-t would be the
same.

regards
davide
