[mythtv-users] Problem with TV_grab_au 0.6 - New source

[Norgs]

Andrew,

Hello and thanks for you input.  It is most certainly valued.  

After spending the last couple of days reading the discussion here
regarding AU tv guides, I myself was thinking about the OzTiVo people,
and the story of their battle with the holders of information.

I know that it is true that many of the OzTiVo people gather the guide
information in their own way, which is not a collective way, and may
not be considered by this group a helpful (read: legal) way.

Do you think the OzTivo people have a system which fits around the
needs of an open source system which is publicly accessible (as is
this list)?

Also, can the OzTiVo system help out those who are in irregular (I
didn't say less important) states, and those using the digital
broadcast system?


Thanks
