Since DirectTV doesn't play well with the channel listing service. We have to manually download the listings and insert them into the data base.

Things you will need:

• Script for downloading and installing (I placed this in ~/bin/)

  #!/bin/bash
  #
  # grab the data from schedules direct
  tv_grab_na_dd --dd-data /home/mythbot/xmldata.xml
   
  # fill the database with our listing data
  mythfilldatabase --dd-file 1 -1 1 /home/mythbot/xmldata.xml
