Configure Freeview (DVB-T) for the Hampshire in the UK
This is a config file based on getting tv using the radio times and xmltv, and for freeview reception in hampshire, south england. I've included the radio stations found on freeview even though there is no TV guide, as I like to listen to the radio.
NOTE: there is no "top up TV" channels configured here, as I only have a USB stick receiver so I have no ability to access the topup TV channels.

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:
