After looking through some of the recent forum posts, it seems timely to reiterate that the nzTiVo team is a volunteer group and makes no assurance as to the availability of any form of operating data.
I had been involved with the team for a while but have moved on from the group, as have a few of the original founding members before me. So, there in lines a problem for the future of the effort. It needs new input or it will simply fail.
There are discussions a foot as to setting an end-of-life for the current setup within the current members of the nzTiVo team.
The team has asked on many occasions for input from the community to assist in building a community maintainable system via a web interface over the top of the current database. But nothing much has come of this, it would have been an important move to allow the community to self maintain and would have likely resulted in a longer lifespan.
I'd personally like to say thanks to the oztivo effort for supplying the data for satellite fed channels common between the two countries, and to those who spent their time uploading the data that we used. Obviously, a number of thier guide uploading members have recently moved on from their community as well and we are seeing that impact here in NZ.
As always if there are people who are willing to contribute, make yourselves known to the team by posting available skills and experience levels as well as how much time you have.
