Getting the content of a TV

    Hi guys

    I wish to pull the content of a TV (Live-Sports) onto a particular page's Content field.

    My code (which works) is:
    [[getResourceField? &id=`186` &field=`Live-Sports` &processTV=`1`]]


    However, since the TV I am calling is part of the same page, is there a way to tell the 
    &id
    parameter that the TV we want to call is actually part of itself?

    It's not a huge issue but curious if there's a better way to achieve this.
    Thanks

      Maybe i'm not quite getting the question here but why don't you just use 
      [[*yourTv]]
      in the content section or the Tpl?

      By Tpl i mean the getResources Tpl you have made.

        Thanks Alex
        So I just droped [[*Live-Sports]] into the Content field and it worked. I always thought I needed to use getResources or getResourcesField. Obviously not!
