Configure DVB-T for Ireland

At the moment the Irish Government are running broadcast trials of DVB. This is a config file based on getting tv using the radio times and xmltv, and for DVB-T in Dublin, Ireland. I've included the radio stations on the trial but I haven't checked if they are available with xmltv. At the moment it's not updated but will be shortly.

TV Configuration in /etc/freevo/local_conf.py

TV_CHANNELS = [('rte-1.rte.ie', 'RTE1',              'RTE1'),
               ('C1870.radiotimes.com', 'NET2',              'RTE2'),
               ('tv3.ie', 'TV3',           'TV3'),
               ('tg4.ie', 'TG4', 'TG4'),
               ('???', 'RTE RADIO 1',               'RTE RADIO 1'),
               ('???', '2 FM',               'RTE 2FM'),
               ('???', 'Lyric fm',           'RTE Lyric fm'),
               ('???', 'RTE Radio Na Gaeltachta',           'RTE Radio Na Gaeltachta'),
               ('???', 'Today FM', 'Today FM'),
]

Your channels.conf should look like this

Obtain all days the TV Guide

Configure xmltv - here is my config from .xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt.conf :

channel south.bbc1.bbc.co.uk
channel south.bbc2.bbc.co.uk
channel meridian.tv.co.uk

Then edit your cron (crontab -e) I do have this scheduled for early in the morning to ensure it doesn't clash with recordsing, as it very rare I'm doing anything with the box at that time:

0 3 * * * /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt --gui TermNoProgressBar --days=10 > /tmp/TV.xml 2>/tmp/TV.xml.error &
0 6 * * * /usr/bin/freevo cache > /dev/null && freevo schedulefavorites > /dev/null
