Thanks Raymond.

With some very rudimentary  code I am now getting all System Events.

I have tried to research a little about 'feeing' the script a different
config.xml.  As it stands, I have a config.xml in my ~/.mythtv directory,
but this isn't the one that is being used by my script in anyway.  How can
I force the script to use a different LocalHostName?

Cheers,
