I created a small PHP script (xmltv compatible) to scrape tv guide data from the glashart media network. It will only work, when you have a fiber connection from a ISP which is using the glashart media IPTV services. For more information see http://code.google.com/p/tv-grab-nl-glashartmedia/
Glashart media provides IPTV in the Netherlands. There are several ISP’s in the Netherlands who provide IPTV from Glashart media on their fiber connections like: edutel, onsbrabantnet, XMS, onsnet, tweak, Lijbrandt, Solcon, Kick XL
More information about Glashart Media: http://www.glashartmedia.nl/Glashart+media/
WARNING: This script is loading tv guide data from the hostname w.zt6.nl. This hostname is NOT available through the public internet. You can only reach this hostname when connected to the IPTV vlan (usually the second port on the fiber modem). But before you can connect your pc to that port, you have to fiddle around a bit with your DHCP request to act like a Set Top Box.

Hi there,
I am using your script and it is working like a charm.. Better then the upc/tvgids i used before.. But i found an error in the script.. When i run the script the xml files is getting filled perfectly, but at the end i get 7 times this error.
2012 21:17:59 [ERR] Error while retrieving http://w1.zt6.nl/epgdata/epgdata.20120721.1.json.gz :
2012 21:17:59 [WAR] Url http://w.zt6.nl/epgdata/epgdata.20120721.2.json.gz returned 404 Not Found
Because everything is working ok i can’t figure out why you need this json file.. and at this time i’m ignoring it.. But can you explain what it needs to do?? is it important?
Hi Quint,
I created the script to be xmltv compliant. The default settings try to load 7 days of EPG data. Unfortunately the EPG data is only available for 6 days, so the data loaded om the 7th day is not yet available on the epg server, and that gives the error. I’ll see if I can do something about the error message in a next version.
