Is there a method to manually pull tv listing data from the hvr-1950?                                                        
                                                                                                                             
Currently, I'm quite satisfied with setting up a user cron job to record,                                                    
background task, then stop the task after a specified amount of time.

#!/bin/bash                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                             
mencoder 'dvb://KTVF DT:545028615:8VSB:65:68:4' -really-quiet -of avi -ovc copy

sleep 60m                                                                                                                    
                                                                                                                             
killall mencoder # should use pidof                                                                                          
--- Snip ---                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                             
It'd be great if I could grab the listing data myself using bash or whatever.                                                
Not only this, the huge MythTV prefers to grab the data 24/7 -- doing it myself, I could                                     
opt to only capture the data for a specified amount of time.                                                                 
                                                                                                                             
<shrugs> ... any easy ideas?
