TVHeadend

[pwillo1982]

Anyone using TVHeadend for cable?

I have submitted a patch via Github that has now been merged into the master branch that adds a UK Cable OTA EPG grabber.

This pulls down and maps the EPG direct from the DVB-C stream so no manual downloading and mapping of XMLTV sources are required.

This should automatically be included in the next release (or you can build the master branch yourself now from here):

Here is the pull request for anyone interested:

Have not used TVHeadend for a while but to my recollection it got the guide data from the stream in the same way as EPG Refresh

What image are you guys running where you can't just pull the epg using the stream?
