Hi!

I'm using his tvmovifetch Python Script and it works very well. You'll
find the script at http://www.bucksch.org/1/projects/various/xmltv/ wich
is Ben Buksch's homepage. The program qtxmlcheck, also provided by Ben,
is not needed, but it's nice too.

The data is fetched directly from the TV-Movie Servers in XML-Format and
Ben's scripts transform it into the xmltv-format.

Once you have the wanted data you can import it into the mythtv-database
by using
# mythfilldatabase --file <sourceid> -1 all.xmltv

The only problem I have is, that no channel frequency information is
provided by the generated xmltv-file. Does anyone has a solution for
that? Or: Does anybody provide the frequency data for germany and knows
how to import the data into the database?
