epgsnoop

epgsnoop is a python package which wraps the dvbsnoop program and generates XMLTV data. The data is usable for MythTV and possibly other PVR systems. If you have updates or suggestions for the package then please contact me.

epgsnoop is only currently known to be in use in New Zealand. Many of the processors are possibly currently targetted to the EIT data from there. Corrections and additions are welcome.

epgsnoop is developed and tested on Linux with Python 2.5. Patches for other systems and Python versions are welcome.
