The setup I have is the following:

* one machine that runs mythtv
* a different machine on the public internet running a crawler of
/programmes and a mini ruby server with mysql


The process is this:

1. A crontab on the Myth machine that exports crid, title, start time, 
channel and channel number for all BBC content, and uploads it to the 
other machine:

crid://fp.bbc.co.uk/240z2y| |2011-10-26T10:00:00+00:00|2011-10-26T11:00:00+00:00||BBC ONE|Homes Under the Hammer|1|

20 5 * * * cd myth_data; ruby dump_today.rb; scp 
data/latest_data.txt tvdata@ec2-79-125-58-203.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:latest_data.txt;


2. A later crontab on the server that deletes the old data, loads the 
myth data into a database and initiates the /programmes crawler, 
inserting the data in the same database for all BBC content:

25 6 * * * cd tvdata; mysql -u user -ppass epgs < insertdata.sql
30 6 * * * cd crawler; ruby crawler.rb

3. A little server that joins up the two datasets. You can run it like this:

mkdir WEBrickLog
ruby server.rb &
