    Oops, fixed the tar command in the README, tar ;-)

    Yeah, I had quite a few of those holdoffs, but it seemed to get through everything OK (except there was no data for Sommet in the freeview file).
    I found that the TV2 data loaded instantly, but it took a few hours before the TV1/3 showed up in the guide, so YMMV.

    Great to have a backup source for all the Sky data if we get desperate. I could mod these scripts if needed.
    In case others are interested, instructions on how to download/install the scripts on your TiVo are available here (for now):

    Yes I noticed that delay with data showing up in the guide. It didn't do this when we ran tvload on our tivo implementation. Some incompatibility I guess but it gets there.

    I'll see if I can scrape up some sky data this weekend.

    Cheers,

    Hi mpnash,
    I've created all the sky data in a .xml file, any chance I can send to it you and you may be
    able to get your script to convert it? Its similar to what you use in freeview.xml, with a few
    differences. I don't seem to be able to attach a file here.

    Cheers,
    Divxmaster

    I've nearly got the workaround going for sky and freeview data. It seems that the data load up OK and are visible on the guide.

    However, one major issue is that this method (using 'TVLoad.tcl LoadData FILE' and 'TVLoad.tcl TriggerDBGCIndex') does not seem to allow programmes to be detected by wishlists or SPs. So my To Do List is empty, and I have no idea how to fix that. Very inconvenient :-(

    Thanks for the workaround, loaded most of the guide data Ok, other than the long list of errholdoffs...

    Like you, have found that the wishlists and season passes are not being recognised, but not too much of a biggies, as long as the guide data is up, and able to book programes.

    We are working on this now,
    looking into creating a slice file, that we can load up which
    shouldn't have these problems

    new quickfix for Sky EPG

    I've updated the parse/load scripts to deal with Sky data (being supplied by divxmaster, thx!) and freeviewnz data.

    Latest instructions:
    [edited - see latest post]

    In this version, the default is to load all Sky data, and then all freeviewnz data.
    (A few channels, such a Prime, are presently missing in the Sky data).
    Add a comment in the wrapper script if you only need one data source.

    Issues:
    - wishlists now work, but Season Passes do not :-(
    - all episodes for a show appear the same within a week - no biggie.
    - not particularly efficient, but at least the trusty Series1 gets there.

    EPG load script updates:
    - now all Sky channels are loaded (incl Movie channels)
    - now the wrapper script only loads Sky data by default (option to switch to freeview is available)
    - now scripts and EPG source files all stored on drivehq (thanks divxmaster!)
    - EPG are presently updated at 8.30pm on Monday and Friday - this may get changed to daily.
    - latest instructions here:
