Its only DOSing at 3am every morning when 100 people run filldatabase,
a time when no one really cares if it takes 36 mins. Not only is it
rude, but things like this is what makes yahoo/ninemsn change there
guide so we cant get information from it any more.
Some thing good I notices today is a xml feed from abc of the guide
today.
http://www.abc.net.au/syndication/tv_epg.xml
We should be using this instead of nine for abc at least.
