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.

TV Configuration in /etc/freevo/local_conf.py

TV_CHANNELS = [
    ( 'rte-1.rte.ie', 'RTE ONE', '0' ),
    ( 'rte2.rte.ie', 'NET2', '0'),
    ( 'tg4.ie', 'TG4', '0' ),
    ( 'tv3.ie', 'TV3', '0' ) ]

Your channels.conf should look like this

cat ~/.xine/channels.conf

Obtain all days the TV Guide

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

channel rte-1.rte.ie
channel rte2.rte.ie
channel tv3.ie
channel tg4.ie

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
