How do I install epgsnoop to get Sky listings

We will asume that you have a working installation of Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic )

Open a terminal window and paste the following commands;

sudo apt-get install dvbtune dvbsnoop python-setuptools # install some requirements

wget http://launchpad.net/epgsnoop/trunk/0.84/+download/epgsnoop-0.84.tar.gz # download the source

tar xvf epgsnoop-0.84.tar.gz # extract the source

cd epgsnoop # change to the extracted source directory

sudo python setup.py install # install epgsnoop

mkdir ~/.epgsnoop/ # make the epgsnoop configuration directory

cp epgsnoop.conf ~/.epgsnoop/ # copy the epgsnoop configuration into place

cp channels.conf.sky ~/.epgsnoop/channels.conf # Copy in the channel configuration, you can substitute freeview here.

epgsnoop --tune 12671 --lnb 10750 > /home/$USER/listings.xml # Check your LNB is 10750 or adjust the command line
