DVB guide data can't replace xmltv in Australia either. Last I checked,
our networks were only transmitting information about the next two
programs. We can get xmltv data for up to a week via the internet.

I thought Taylor was objecting more to getting channel metadata from
Zap2It, rather than guide data specifically. All of the other metadata
should be available in on-air MPEG/ATSC tables.
